best lens on a P&S?

Most of the others are much the same, with special mention for FinePix "F" series with its premium sensor I've been playing with their F10. very, very nice shots. I believe that their later 8.3 MP sensor may have some noise issues, but I've never tried one. On the odd occasion, a bit of purple fringing appears around high contrast edges, but not often enough to be a concern. If the picture is important enough, the fringing can be eliminated via software. The shots are all better than the Panasonic FZ30 I compared it to. The zoom is the Panasonic's only redeeming feature. mike I have a F20 FinePix, and its a bit of a enigma, indoor and macro it will fight a SLR, sunny and outdoors i am NOT impressed with the photos, i print them as they come out, no time to touch them up. Great battery life and the dual photo shoot is a great idea, strong and good quailty construction, no need and Image-Stab. either, it is NOT missed or needed.NO issue with XD card not a issue, priced ok now. Needs more zoom, 6x at least, weird design hard to hold with your fingers, should be smaller size, metal tripod plug needed, side plastic covers are rubbish as is the way you have to charge it Otherwise great step up from the old F420 Will buy a Pana FZ8, want a 12x zoom, and the S6500 is WAY to huge sized to consider [pity] M/P |

[] Can someone recommend a P&S with really good optics? A true pocket sized camera would be great, if the picture quality is high enough. Many thanks. -Joel Many people regard the Leica optics used on many Panasonic cameras as being the best optics in small-sensor cameras. My own comparisons have suggested that the Panasonic FZ5 and FZ20 optics beat the Canon equivalents (e.g. S3 IS). There are pocket-sized cameras in the Panasonic range, but I have not used them nor tested their optics. Cheers, David |

In article . com,
writes Best P&S [daylight 2nd] is the Sigma DP1: http://www.sigma-dp1.com/ Just wait a bit please, out soon. I almost like it, but Sigma claim that "Sigma is not about creating run-of-the mill photographs, or pushing image quality defined by numbers" and then they pretend that a resolution of 2,688 x 1,792 makes a 14.45MP camera, I make it 4,816,896. Besides, the Foevon sensor has a reputation for bad aliasing artefacts and poor colour rendition. Additionally, I would want an optical viewfinder. -- Ian G8ILZ There are always two people in every pictu the photographer and the viewer. ~Ansel Adams |

If you can stand a little noise, sometimes even at 80 ISO, the image quality is very good. That's like a restaurant reviewer saying that except for the mouse droppings, the food was quite good. It's not a bit like that. I can't image anyone not being concerned about mouse droppings in their food, but many people (including me) are not much worried about some noise in an otherwise excellent image. I don't know of anyone being poisoned by image noise ;-) -- John Bean |

writes Prometheus wrote in : the Foevon sensor has a reputation for bad aliasing artefacts The aliasing artifacts are from not using an AA filter; not from the Foveon sensor. True(ish), Bayer sensors usually have an AA filter which Foveon perceive as being to reduce colour aliasing effects in the Bayer spatial colour sampling process and, since Foveon sample all three colours at each point they do not require a "colour blurring" filter and so do not fit such a filter to their sensor assembly. Unfortunately in their enthusiasm to prove the Bayer approach wrong they have failed to comprehend that they are sampling on a finite geometric grid which will cause aliasing. -- Ian G8ILZ There are always two people in every pictu the photographer and the viewer. ~Ansel Adams |

I should add that I'm not interested in any post-processing. These
are pictures that are going right from the camera to the printer. -Joel ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- EXIF data for any image or web page: http://exif.posted-online.com ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- |

Best P&S [daylight 2nd] is the Sigma DP1:
