Re: Another 7 MP camera

[Caveman]

The current 5MP Powershot S60 has a 28-100 equivalent lens. The recently 
announced 7MP S70 has the same lens. AFAIK these are the only compacts 
starting with 28. There are also the 8MP "prosumers" starting at 28mm equiv.

Who needs another digicam that shoots no wider than 35mm? For my shooting

In fact, I was advising another advanced amateur (a former Spotmatic user in
his fifties) who's poised to buy a serious digicam. When I told him that
most models with built-in lenses can't reach 28mm at their wide end, he was
astonished-and grateful for the warning.
