Film Compact Vs Digital Compact.

2. Apologies ofr not making myself clear but, i should have said "The digitals win. Best FILM contestant was the powershot 105. It was enormous Didn't always focus on what i thought it should but did a mostly good job. Sharpest lens going. Gave my A1 and FD 70-210mm a run for its money. The shutter delay on the powershot was as bad or as worse as any digital camera. Let's see... you're saying an enormously large and heavy digicam, though it often doesn't focus correctly and has a long shutter delay, and has a lens that doesn't go wider than 38mm, is better than one of the bestter film P&S cameras? Especially compared to a manual SLR?!? Seems like you're saying just the opposite of what you mean. Let's for example take the Minolta FZE/Riva 28-75. It accepts ISO 400-800 film that is 2-3 stops faster than most digicams. It almost always produces in-focus pictures, especially if you know how to use it. The shutter lag is less than 1/4 second, and it can take one picture per second for up to 37-38 frames (the "buffer" of film). Sometimes my friends produce excellent pictures with their digicams. In good lighting, with the sun at their backs, they can take photos that are technically superior to what my Minolta FZE produces. But in all other conditions, no. Especially flash portraits. The Yashica T4*Zoom is similar to the FZE and still available. |
