wide-angle digital cameras
I am getting FF a new digital camera for xmas, since the old one she had been using stopped working. I was looking specifically for cameras with wide-angle capability (<=28 mm focal range / 35mm equivalence), and at first it was not easy to find a list of all cameras which fit that criteria. I just stumbled across them a few at a time, while reading reviews.
But then I found this page, which lists a bunch of cameras and their basic specs including focal range:
http://www.dcresource.com/reviews/cameraList.php
Even that page, though, doesn't list some of the older wide-angle models which are still available, including the following:
Canon PowerShot SD870
Fuji Finepix F480
Kodak EasyShare V570
Kodak EasyShare V705
Nikon Coolpix S600
Olympus FE-290
Panasonic Lumix DMC-FX35
Panasonic Lumix DMC-FX100
I decided on the Lumix DMC-FX35, mainly because it is 25mm which is even wider than 28mm, and also taking into account reviews and price. Otherwise I might have gotten her a Canon PowerShot, as that is the kind I have.
