| 758080 | 2009-03-20 08:31:00 | I'm sure video cams and digital stills will converge into one camera soon. What bothers me is the small lenses compared with the old 35mm cameras. No matter what the manufacturers say about image quality, a lens 30% smaller - or more - simply cannot see as many photons as a bigger lens. The more light the camera recieves, the better the photo. You'll note professional press photographers still use much larger albeit digital cams. |

| 758082 | 2009-03-20 08:58:00 | I have tried that cam, the viewfinder is electronic so in dark places it can be brighter but to me was uncomfortable since I was used to the standard optical viewfinders off a SLR . But they are smaller and portable and you can change lenses . But the lenses are not much available . You have much more lenses from a std SLR camera . New or used . I wouldn't mind a Leica M8 thou in digital . . dpreview . com/reviews/leicam8/" target="_blank">www . dpreview . com The std SLRs are still some what larger you could get a film SLR Canon or Nikon at around 330g without the lens . And they take the same lenses as a top of the line Canon / Nikon . Yeah 35mm are probably the best compromise setup . For those doing weddings or fashion medium forrmat or even a medium format digital may be an option but very expensive . Landscape people would use 4x5" or 8x10" professional sheet film . |

| 758084 | 2009-03-20 11:25:00 | I wouldn't mind a Leica M8 thou in digital. www.dpreview.com Leica are very average at digital. Great for film - there is a very definite "Leica look" especially noticeable in b/w prints. But they are way overpriced for what they deliver in digital. An old saying in photography - "just because it's German doesn't mean it's good" |
