Looking for a digital camera with wide angle lens (equivalent of 28mm on a film camera)...

A few suggestions:
The compact mid size Canon S60 does 28-100 mm equivalent.
The previous 5 MB prosumer camera, Minolta A1, (28-200 equivalent) is sold
at attractive prices these days
The new prosumer Olympus Camedia C-8080 Wide Zoom does 28-140 mm
equivalent.

This is a quick example of what the CP5000 and its wide adapter will
give you:

Thanks, Frank, clearly a very wide-angle view. The netting is
distracting, though!

Cheers,
David

Yes; I thought it would show the kind of dof and distortion you could
expect.


Here are three more that may play more into the real estate interiors
milieu:
from the center of a room about 12 by 16 feet; CP5000 with wide adapter
(to ~19mm equivalent); program exposure; no adjustments whatsoever;
reduced from 2560x in 10% stair-steps; saved at Photo Shop 30 quality.

A more serious product would involve leveling the camera, locating it as
far from the subject wall as possible, bracketing and Photo Shopping the
blowouts, and all that kind of thing.

Again, this is just quick work for demonstration of the wide-angleness
of the CP5000 with wide adapter:

Good demonstrations, as you say. A snip to correct the geometry.

Thanks,
