HPL posted:Check out the Samsung EX1. It has the best lens among point and shoots to date. It's not a superzoom, but it should be serviceable with a rough equivalent of a 17-50 on your XTi. It's funny to say it, but it's actually a faster lens than anything zoom you can get for a regular DSLR because like I said, it's roughly equivalent to 17-50 on an APS-C sensor, but it's f/1.8-2.4 which would be fast prime territory on APS-C or full frame. That's the one with dedicated shutter speed and aperture wheels right?

I think regular people like blown highlights.

john ashpool posted:So, I think I want something that's portable but has a huge sensor. I know the cannon s90 is great, but I'm strongly considering the Olympus PEN E-PL1. For less then the cost of a Cannon s90, I can get a sensor that's over 5 times larger. Camera would be bigger, but not stupid huge like a DLSR. And I could always get the pancake lens later on. Check out the Mirrorless thread: http://forums.somethingawful.com/showthread.php?threadid=3410935 I think the NEX is available in a kit with a 16mm pancake, and is a bit smaller than the E-PL1.

NihilCredo posted:I just want to check, is there any non-obvious reason to absolutely stay away from it - e.g. this series' sensor is a piece of crap that hides behinds the inflated 12MP resolution, a max of 1600 ISO will be crippling, stuff like that? I have a pretty old P&S so this might not be true for a newer one, but mine takes forever to save a RAW. Literally multiple seconds where the camera is completely unresponsive, screen black, only this obnoxious blue LED (I think it's the "print" button) to indicate that it's writing. Not really a big deal most of the time, since you can still shoot JPEG or even totally de-activate CHDK pretty easily I think, but something to be aware of. Also, the CHDK interface is very open source. A lot of options, not the best-looking or organized menus. Again not a huge deal once you figure out how to do what you want to do, it just might take a bit more trial and error or reading online help pages to get there. And the flip side is it's very customizable, with a ton of stuff you can display on the screen while shooting. It does mean you have to navigate a menu to change settings though (shutter speed, aperture, etc), so it won't ever be as quick to operate as an S95.

Is that threading for a screw-in cable release? Awesome.

Still more primes than DX.
