That is the selling point. The only reason that I would consider such a camera is that feature, alone. I have come to trust Canon's Digic processors, and the 14.1mp density is a benefit to me. The only concern that I would have is that of the wide-angle end of the zoom. A lot of the agricultural stuff that I have been called on to shoot demands a pretty wide angle. The flash is also important, since most of these zooms are often grim reapers in anything but the brightest light. The inside of a tobacco barn is not conducive to success with a lens with a widest aperture of f4.5 or so. Bounce flash with slaved units is sometimes the only way the shot can be had.Originally Posted by kf0rt
I still love the idea of using a fixed-lens camera and not having to lug all that shit across fields just because you can't be sure what lens you're going to need. Sometimes feel like the proverbial Arab's camel. Then there is the advantage of a camera that is sealed. You can't safely change lenses in a chicken house that is being mucked out by a couple of Chicanos running Bobcats with front-end loaders -- can't fit it with goggles and mask.
I like it. As to whether or not I would buy it, that must wait 'til I have chance to play with one.
