Well actually superzooms are not a disaster, far from it …… panasonics fz35/38 with 18x zoom and canons sx20is with 20x zoom are both excellent cameras with really good high quality lenses …. they do not have huge distortion and they do focus ok … better than some of the cheap and grossly overpriced crap dslr lenses out there in fact. Image quality on these cameras is fine unless your looking at full size shots on a screen …. if you print them you wont see any noise so whats the problem.
I wish people would just enjoy there cameras …. and theres an awfull lot to enjoy in a superzoom …… they are great fun at an affordable price as long as you aint an ultra fussy pixel peeper.

At least somebody agrees with me

A 30X zoom? Typically, super long zooms are a disaster, huge distortion, CA, and they have a tiny aperture when zoomed out, and usually will not autofocus in any but the brightest light.

Contrary to what some believe, CMOS is not better than CCD’s, its cheaper to make. It is noiser which is why we don’t see it on cameras with the tiny sensors. The backlit sensor may help the noise, but it will not be a miracle.

well, first thank you for the quick and straight reply. I guess that on a website dedicated to photo gear , it seems difficult to get excited over another compact with a tiny ( 1/2.5 or smaller ) sensor . the fact that Fuji use a different type of sensor is probably noteworthy but nothing else. And to answer your question, I have not heard any interesting rumor so far ( at least none that I think directly PMA related)
Truth be told , I think a PMA show is always less interesting during a Photokina year.

Actually my mistake is that I gave an opinion – this blog is not about what I think, so your comments are right and another lesson is learned (I know I have done this in the past already). There are many websites out there full of opinions, here I should be reporting rumors and nothing more.

Its just that “will steal the show” is a little exagerating, dont you think?…the sony cmos back sensor…really suck at low isos….

no, I don’t have Fuji ads (I wish)

This is just my opinion. I haven’t seen anything else that will make me want to buy one. Well, maybe the new Hasselblad, but this news came after I wrote the Fuji post. I would like to know what do you find interesting from the rumored announcements so far.

a camera with a 24-720 is to be the most exciting news at PMA ?
are you serious ? You must have got some ads by Fuji to dare write something like that
probably another tiny sensor compact. You got the palm of the most outrageous statement of the week (

This is nothing to write home about. The 10 MP sony cmos and a third party body. They made lots of this You can not say if it’s Fuji, Pentax or Nikon – the whole s8x00 line. Just plain crap. The sensor from Sony is just ok on high iso \considering the 1/2.5″ size\ but is below average on minimum iso.
Just hope that hey’ll deliver a m4/3

wondering if the 720 includes a 10x digital zoom or something like that…

I love my Fuji S100fs….and wish for an even longer zoom range…so the 24 – 720 would be nice…… Just lets hope the new sensor is as good or better than the S200EXR one….and HD video is a must nowadays. Love my tilt screen too and it was a pity they left it off the S200EXR.

Sony already has a few CMOS point & shoot cameras. Image quality isn’t as drastically improved as you’d think :^(

In fact this is probably the “same” sensor found in the Sony TX1 and WX1 cameras?

I would second that, I hope, if HS10 is real, it is 120 and not 720. Also, it could be again the popular super zoom 24-420

Interesting rumor. I enjoyed my Minolta A1 with a 28-200mm lens very much as a walk-a-round camera. If the shutterlag is not too bad, this could be a good replacement.
