Suggest a P&S digicam pls
(Posting here b/c I'd prefer suggestions from people who are familiar
with film as a benchmark of quality). Hi all - Need to upgrade my P&S digicam, as my ole faithful Olympus C3000 died a horrible death in the trunk of my jeep. I already have a Canon 10D, a film SLR body and a bunch of EF lenses, which I use for nature photography. The P&S is not going to replace it, but complement it - it is essentially going to be my new carry-everywhere camera (my previous pocket camera, the Olympus Mju, died an equally horrible death while I was white-water rafting). I will be using it for candid street photography, grab shots, etc. Despite its more spontaneous usage, I expect to get shots with it which I'll want to enlarge and frame. As such, I need a high-quality camera - something which will give me sharp 11x14s, say. Basically, I need the following features: - minimal shutter lag - I am used to SLRs and want something that comes as close to it as possible. The Oly was horrible in this aspect. - quick power on - RAW format - small and pocketable (really pocketable - not the pocketable-only-if-your-pockets-are-made-by-Abdullah-the-tent-maker types) - preferably one where the lens doesnt stick out. I'll be using it for candids and in situations where I dont necessarily want to stick out as being a photographer - 5Mpix at the very least - focal length of 28-75 or so (28-100 will be even better), with fastish glass (2.8 or thereabouts) - (added bonus) uses CF cards - although I can survive if it uses something else Needless to say, it needs to have sharp, high-quality glass... the one thing which virtually all digicam review sites ignore. Given the plethora of cameras out there, I was hoping to narrow the choices down to a few good ones before going out there and doing my research. Any suggestions? Thanks! -- Vandit Kalia |
