for: canon, olympus, panasonic, superzoom |
06/01/08: This was an excellent summary of the issues with the modern superzoom. The suspects were: Olympus SP-560UZ, Fuji S800fd, Panasonic Lumix DMC-FZ18
Excerpted from DPREVIEW:
" Oh dear, it's all gone a bit wrong for all three cameras at ISO
1600. The choice between the cameras is not so much about choosing the
one with the best image quality but choosing the method by which you
least mind your image being degraded.
...
Frankly you would have to be
in a charitable mood to put inclusion of these ISO 1600 modes down to
optimism, rather than downright dishonesty. But the really embarrassing
thing is that these aren't even the highest settings - the ones that
are trumpeted on the adverts and promotional materials. Each of these
manufacturers promotes these models as being capable of taking pictures
at even higher sensitivities than this. And this is true, to the extent
that you can press the shutter button and record a file onto your
memory card, but the results are so poor that it makes no sense to
analyze them using terminology that relates to image quality."
WOW! That is exactly what we have been saying. If you have a choice, or a voice, please let these manufacturers know that they are insulting with their claims and priorities... we just want to take good pictures!!
