I only ask because not once in the (too many) posts we've had over the past few days do you mention much about the lenses on these cameras. Yes, we get the f-stop, yes we get the zoom "power" but not the most important thing which is the 35mm lens equivalent.
A 5x zoom is pretty useless if it's from 90-450mm on a general purpose camera. 28-140mm would be interesting and a 24-120mm lens would be something I start to pay real attention to. As it is I'm just pressing page down a lot.
I know the vendors don't alwasy mention this info but a little digging to find out wouldn't go amiss and next time they'll include it in the release.
Now that we've thrown 'em off the trail, use the form below to get in touch with the people at Engadget. Please fill in all of the required fields because they're required.
Do you huys actually take any photos?
