biggest 35mm P&S zoom lens?
seems nothing is bigger than the
Pentax IQ Zoom 200 QD Date (48mm to 200mm) - $340 the camera is big. could it be that people are going digital because the zoom is bigger than film P&S? you could get 6x-10x with 3.2/4mp. why is 200mm the limit on film P&S? |

I will use a tripod anyway. APS is indeed dead. aha! digital stabilization. |

A regular P&S digital camera has a very small sensor, like 1/10th of the surface of a 35mm frame. Therefore, it is much easier and cheaper to make a good lens for it. |

So the venerable iS-3 / iS-3000 has finally been discontinued? Now there are only point & shoot ZLR cameras... Regards, Per Nordenberg |
