PowerShot S2 IS announced, please see: >> Interestingly long zoom range but I remember with great affection real wide angle lenses (24-28mm) and I wonder what are the practical difficulties in producing a real wide angle in cameras such as this?...

S > sensor doesn't really change much. >> Any thoughts about those or other models to look at? I guess relaxing > the 28mm wide angle would open up a lot of options. Is the Fuji E500 a > good camera? >> Hi, Check out Oly wide angle cameras...

the higher-end cameras I've looked at (aside from the F828) seem to have an LCD that does not swivel, or no LCD at all! Are there any accessories that could help me out? Or should I just repair my F717 and wait for Sony to release the 939? I'd really...

Why no real wide angle P&S cameras?. Archived from groups: rec.photo.digital () Was just browsing for wide-angle (<28mm) P&S cameras and there seem to be none!! Why is that? No demand or high-cost of developing one to fit a P&S cost profile or both? - Siddhartha....

pictures are just as good anyway? > ability to get wide angle field of view with out going fisheye or super >wide. (no sensor size factor) Don't care. I have 17mm, and 17mm x 1.5 is about as wide as I want to go without going fisheye. I'm not crazy...
