[filmscanners] Re: Compact Cameras
From: <scott@adrenaline.com>
>>>>>>>>>>>>
I'm waiting for some company to release a really capable small digicam with
a decent APS sensor, a truly superb lens (maybe a prime in the 40mm equiv.
range) and I guess some kind of deluxe EVF. Optical RF based VF is probably
hoping for too much :-) I imagine something like this will happen
eventually,

As I mentioned before, the Canon 350D + 24/2.8 is pretty much exactly that.
>>>>>>>>>>>>>
At this point I'm a Nikonian, I guess, but Olympus and Pentax make some
relatively compact DSLRs. Pentax just release a small pancake prime lens
that is reportedly very good. Either one of these cameras and a small lens
might match the dimensions of the typical larger digicams and offer much
greater controls and produce much better results. Worthy of a little
research and fondling prior to a buy decision.

Yep. My only problem here is large scrawny hands with which both the Pentax
*istD and Canon 350D are quite awkward to hold. Most people find them
perfectly usable.
