It's very interesting except for the 2X crop factor.
Seems pretty limiting in terms of wide angle.
Also, any other companies making 4:3 lenses? |
Maybe so but think of the other side. Lens half the size on the long end. There are some wide angle lens coming out also and Sigma is also producing them.

True. Good advantage at one end of the lense zooms. How wide can you go with this? 28mm seems like it would be the widest available.
If you don't need to go too wide, I'd seriously consider that camera although it seems to be higher priced than what SummerBreeze is willing to pay.

I was wondering, through your experience of working with different cameras & viewing others photos- which camera would be best for proffessional looking photography? Around the $650-700 range. Right now I have an Olympus C-4000 Zoom...should I stick with Olympus, or shoot for another brand? I would also like a camera that would fit many different types of lenses, I notice now with my camera I don't have very many options if I want filters & specific lenses. Any thoughts would be great. |
You just can't beat a DSLR. Any DSLR will suit you for professional type photography. |

you can beat a dslr for sure, if you're a great photographer. look at how many amazing images here from non-dslr's. sure theyre a great thing to have and allow more control. i love mine, that said my favorite pics ive ever taken remain from olympus p/s and my old pentax k1000. ---im sure that will change soon enough though haha.

One thing i like about this site is that you can see what each product can produce. If you see some amazing photos using the Fuji s602z you know you can acheive that using that tool. The best thing is to select a few cameras in you price range and read read read tons of reviews of it to find out if there are any design flaws or ongoing issues with that model. After that, if you can get the few you like and can afford and physically feel them at a camera shop. I'm big on camera's that feel good to hold. Some camera's just feel awkard or are to buttony for me (sony's f828). Once you do all that, you can be cumfy with your decision for about 2 months (that's when a new/better/cheaper camera comes out. :)
That's what i think.
