Thanks for the link, but sometimes I wonder about these kinds of reviews.
The number 2 camera (Samsung) has 15 X zoom but no IS. I would not even consider it. Buyers really need to do more homework than just rely on reviews from sources like PC World. |

Since when does a reviewer list optical zoom for an SLR? Especially when it doesn't even list the lens tested. -- Thomas T.

Especially when it doesn't even list the lens tested. That web page is a brief listing of five cameras, but the tested lenses *are* listed. It apparently only lists the zoom range translated into the 35mm FF equivalent focal lengths. For instance, the XTi specifies the lens as being 28.8mm to 88mm, but if you follow the link to the review the lens is identified as having an 18mm - 55mm actual focal length range. Not a great description, but this *is* the lens that was used. Multiply 18 and 55 by Canon's APC-C multiply ratio (1.6) and you get 28.8mm and 88mm. The test report page provides a better description next to Lens Model, showing that the lens was actually the Canon EF-S 18-55 f/3.5-5.6. Same thing for the Nikon D80 which only shows 27mm and 202.5mm on the summary page, but lists "Nikkor AF-S DX Zoom-Nikkor 18-135mm" for the Lens Model on the test report page. Multiply these focal lengths by Nikon's APS-C lens multiplier (1.5) and you get the 27mm and 202.5mm values reported in the summary. That said, it's a computer magazine after all, and considering that PC World doesn't specialize in cameras, they did a creditable job with their limited camera reviews. |
