Good people - I'm having a heck of a time finding a new camera....
I'd appreciate any advice re: a replacement for my aging Olympus C-2500L
(2.5Mpx).
I love this camera, but the resolution is now inadequate.
For reference:
http/www.dcresource.com/reviews/olympus/c2500l-review/
http/www.steves-digicams.com/c2500.html
The ideal replacement would feature:
- 6-8Mpx SLR type
- low noise
- at least 3x optical zoom
- wide angle zoom lens (~28-80mm equiv..)
- optical TTL viewfinder
- available manual white balance, aperture & shutter speed control
- hotshoe, integrated lens and image stabilizer would be a bonus
- file types (jpg, tiff, raw) is not an issue.
I had high hopes for the new Sony DSC-H1
http/www.dcresource.com/reviews/sony/dsc_h1-review/index.shtml, but like
most newer models, it has an EV vs. TTL viewfinder, focuses on telephoto vs.
wide angle capabilities, and the images seem rather noisy.
Thanks in advance for any assistance.
