digital camera with 28mm focal length?

Hello!

I'm looking for a small digital camera, that would have the "equivalent 35mm
focal length" starting below 30mm. The zoom would nice, but 100mm is
sufficient...

All cameras I can find have the range beginning at 36 or 38 millimeters. Can
someone recommend a good model, that would still fit in the hand of a
petite girl?

Thanks!

Thanks, but, according to CNet:

http://reviews.cnet.com/Canon_PowerS...3.html?tag=tab

the G6's "Equivalent 35mm focal length" is 35-140mm. Is their method of
estimate somehow wrong? Thanks!

Ok, how about Canon's PowerShot Pro1:

Try the Canon Powershot S70. It has a 28-100mm zoom (35mm-equivalent) and is
slightly smaller than the earlier S series

If you go to dpreview and do a features search (homepage/buying
guide/features search) you can specify a wide zoom end of
28 (though it still returns exactly 28mm matches) and a weight of less
than 350g/12oz. It will return a table showing the features of each of the
5 matches.

You should be aware that the wider you go the more chance you have of barrel
distortion/warping (probably the wrong words - others can explain better
than me).

Good luck.

The Fuji E500 & E510 are 4 & 5 megapixel cameras that have 28-90mm zoom
lenses. For casual point & shoot use, they're fine, but inexpensive
wide-angle lenses don't exist for a reason- it's more difficult to control
distortion and purple fringing as lenses get wider. In other words, there
will be some quality trade-offs involved.

These cameras also eat batteries a bit more quickly than most, as they take
just a pair of AAs (instead of 4, as most do, or a high-capacity proprietary
Li-Ion) and have a very large screen which, while impressive, uses up a lot
of power and, with its ultra-tiny viewfinder, is the only way to accurately
take shots.

Also, they take xD memory, which is considerably more expensive than either
CF or SD, and often not included as a readable format in most card readers
(not a huge problem, just means you have to be more careful with what you
buy).

But the camera is small, light and very easy to use.
