P&S digital cameras with mechanical zoom
Hi,
Apart from the Leica Digilux2 (Panasonic DMC-LC1), are there any P&S digital cameras that offer mechanical zoom control instead of the slow (and annoying) electronic zoom control? Thanks, - Siddhartha |

The (Konica) Minolta 7x zoom cameras (A2, A200) have a mechanical zoom ring. David J. Littleboy Tokyo, Japan |

The (Konica) Minolta 7x zoom cameras (A2, A200) have a mechanical zoom ring. Thanks. But again these are too big for my purpose. I need a camera thats small, compact and yet offers good manual control (minimal electronics) in terms of focussing and exposure control. Actually, a film rangefinder seems to meet my needs much better except that they don't seem to have any reasonably priced zoom lens (infact they don't seem to have any zoom lens except the Leica 35-70mm). Let me know if you have any ideas as to what might fit my requirement, film or digital. - Siddhartha |

I know you said a P&S rather than an SLR, but the Pentax *istDS is very small for an SLR - not a whole lot bigger than the Pana digi's. The new Canon 350D is pretty small too. Thanks, - Siddhartha |

Again, another dSLR, no matter how small, is an expensive option. - Siddhartha |
