Manual focus ring in compact digital cameras?
Hi the
After trying some of these machines (Nikon CoolPix 3100, Canon Ixus 500, ....) I've always considered it a problem how the focus works, I guess that's because of it's electrical engine. I'm used to zoom with my reflex Canon EOS and get kind of nervous with these digital cameras behaviour. The question is: is there any digital camera (compact size, not the ones which resemble but aren't reflex) that has a progressive zooming advance, using a ring or another method, or at list a smooth engine? Will be waiting for your answers GRACIAS |

I think it's slightly different with compacts because you hold them
differently. Your left hand doesn't naturally grip the lens (as most do not have large lenses or lens extensions) and thus wouldn't have a ring control. More natural would be the zoom lever controlled by the thumb, which most compacts use. You get used to it after a while... (I was concerned about the same thing...) Jules http://www.shuttertalk.com |
