Tamron SP AF 28-75mm f/2.8 XR Di for Canon

08/09/2005 04:46:40 AM · #1

I've seen a few, and there's 1 or 2 features that split them...

What I want (easier :-)

Minimum 6mp (preferably higher)
Low Noise (something like the Fujifilm F10)
Reasonable zoom (the fujifilm F10 only has 3x)

could i live with a shorter zoom.... if i had to i guess

help please! :)

The Panasonic FZ-30 is due out before too long. I have the 20 and it has some noise problems. I believe the 30 has a larger ccd to help with that and I think it is 6mp or higher. Zoom is unreal. Might be worth researching.

I used to own an FZ20 before I upgraded to the Nikon D70 (which i've just sold)

I don't think I want anything as bulky as that, because my intention is to one day re-buy a DSLR - and keep the point and shoot/prosumer for more discreet situations.

What about the Canon S70? It's small and supports RAW.

i had an s50 so am a little reluctant to go back to something so similar, i believe its also been surpassed for physical size/features now anyway?

ie: Panasonic FX7/8 - 10x optical zoom - image stabiliser etc
fuji f10 - supports up to ISO 1600 (although 800 looks the max ussable)

but the f10 lacks major manual control :(

It is a DLSR. he was obviously mistaken. I recommend anything by canon in the G series like the G6 or the powershot pro 1

Canon Powershot G6 - good mps, but not enough zoom
probobly the canon pro 1 would be the best bet

Pro one is L glass and goes to 200mm (I'm pretty sure)
Nikon 8800 goes to 350mm
