Rumours still that Nikon is working on an EVIL with a sensor with

Will it be like this?

If Pentax does ape their failed 110 camera, it'll fail as well. What
would you rather carry, that stupid little interchangeable lens camera
or a good quality superzoom where you don't have to change lenses?


The Pentax 110 SLR was a niche produce way back when. I agree it
would be crazy to ape it in a CSC, although there is already a Pentax
P&S which looks very like it:

I'll keep my FZ35.


I'm very impressed with my partner's FZ38 (same model as the FZ35).

Very, very, very few people need any more camera than this. ;-)



I use mine all the time, unless the situation calls for the 5D II. But
Panasonic did a nice job on the FZ35. Best JPG engine on the market, and
an auto mode that really, really works well. Love it.

I love mine too, and the FZ100 even more so.

Neither is nearly the equal of a DSLR, but when you need a superzoom and can
live with lower ISOs and the usual EVF shortcomings, these little Panasonics
are great.
