If you are in the market today for a
ZLR, what would your pick be? I am inclined to the sony H5 at this moment. |

At the time I bought, that was the Panasonic FZ5 as it had a long zoom (36 - 432mm), image stabilisation, a Leica lens producing excellent images, and was very light (about 300 grams). I would not have bought a memory-stick camera. I rejected a Canon S2 IS after handling one in the shop - it didn't suit me - although at the time the CF cards and AA batteries would have fitted in better with my other cameras. Today I would look closely at the Panasonic FZ7, although I would be envious of a wider wide-angle end (say 28mm versus 36mm), and of a swivel LCD. But what do you want from the camera - what kind of photos do you wish to take? David |

I have just sold my Z15, I liked mostly everything about the camera except for the lousy image quality on ISO settings higher than 100. I have the Sony W100 as my walkabout camera, before had the Sony W1, like all the menu functions and the pretty good image quality, even on the higher ISOs, goes to pot at about 600 and higher. The swivel lcd on the Canon S3 IS is a huge plus, makes the camera like a mini Hasselblad. The camera I really like from the specs is the Samsung Pro815, a huge monster. but is a heavy piece to be toting about. I found a good site for printing out all the specs in a side by side comparison at http://www.myproductadvisor.com/mpa/home.do you can do up to five comparisons at one go. |
