Thanks for the announcement, Wayne. It's a pity that the article doesn't
mention what the actual zoom range is, rather than "10x". A one-to-one
comparison with the excellent Panasonic Lumix TZ3 would be interesting.

Thanks, Wayne. Ah, so no wide-angle extension, then. I discovered a
photo he

http://www.dpreview.com/news/0708/07...nonsx100is.asp

and the camera is obviously not in the same class as the TZ3, with its
compact size and 28mm wide-angle:

Probably sell on the brand name alone, of course!

So, just out of curiosity, how much does canon pay you?

And how is it improved over the 12X S5 is?

Agreed he's employed by Canon.

WOW! Live View on the 40D I can now hold a dSLR with a 70~200/2.8 IS out
at arm's length. Damn good thing it has stabilization.

This is what happens when you let the marketing weasels dictate design.

OMG what is wrong with you people. Canon or Nikon or whatever pay me
nothing. I treat DIMi the same way I did the print photo mags I edited
for the previous 10 years, put out interesting content, hopefully before
others do.

Cheers,

Wayne

It is missing a critical feature so I would never recommend it to
anyone. There is no viewfinder. That said I think it will sell well.
Most of the snap shooters I see with digital camera take their pictures
with their arms outstretched, viewfinder or not.

The views I have read on the TZ3 bear the same criticism as the FZ8.  That is excessive noise at lower ISO or in dim light and the compensation used that causes smearing and loss of detail.  I am curious about the soon to be released FZ18.  I expect the reviews to be similar to the FZ8.

That feature is handy when using a tripod.
