Good wide-angle P&S? - DPChallenge Forums

02/26/2006 10:45:04 PM · #1

My FZ20 is coming in the mail tommorow.....finally, sheesh. I can't wait, no more ghettoness for me.

But anyways, I am thinking about buying a decent point and shoot with a good wide angle lense on it, just to have to carry around and to do landscapes with, since the FZ20 doesn't go very wide and the conversion lenses cost more than the camera.

I have been looking around on ebay and dcresource and Ricoh seems to make some really good wide angle P&S cameras, and they are a pretty good price as well.

Anywho, any help would be greatly appreciated as always.

Thanks!

Yeah....I've looked at the V570, it's pretty nice but isn't really what I want, I want somehting with a few more options.

Although I really like the kodak...a lot, it's a nifty little camera.

What's the budget?

anywhere from $100-$300ish....maybe a little more, who knows. I know I can get a good Ricoh GX camera for around 230 or so, so that is what I am comparing most of the other cameras to, whether or not they are a better deal.

Lets just say I held out a lot more money this year for taxes than I thought I did:P

Can you search for lense specs on there?

Oh...and what camera is that?
