Digital BW, The Print

Jerry,

Obviously the quality of the lens is not what one might expect from a $2000-4000 MF lens. However, it appears that for a small P&S zoom optic in a compact package it is superb. I would love to see some tests on it to tell you the truth.

The bottom line is that Cory is having a ball with the camera. I am a softy and gave it to hime while he was home for Christmas. He and 8 of his buds went down to the Orange Bowl game and I wanted him to have it to play with.

Is the camera as good as my D1x w/ Nikkor optics, or my 4x5 with Schneider Optics, probably not., but for a 5 mega pixel digital w/ a 10x zeiss zoom, it is worth every bit of $999. Besides it has a built in microphone and will record mpeg movies. ;-) My 4x5 won't do that!

Mike

  Mike, do you think that the Sonnar lens on that camera is up to Zeiss
  standards? It seems the price of the Sony is incredibly low with a good
  zeiss lens on it. 35mm Zeiss lenses of that type run over $2000.
