I don't recall these cameras being mentioned befo
Samsung TL350 (/WB2000 Europe): 24 mm (equivalent) wide angle to 120 mm zoom, AMOLED monitor screen, auto and manual modes, advanced panorama, compact size. ~$350. Samsung HZ35W (W650 Europe): 24 mm (equivalent) wide angle to 360 mm(!), GPS position tagging, AMOLED monitor screen, manual modes, compact size. ~$350. I have no experience with either camera, but I would love to have the 24 mm wide angle and a monitor screen that can be easily seen in sunlight in the cockpit. These have other features that might be useful, like 1000 fps high speed video, 10 full resolution images in a second, optical and digital image stabilization. The panorama modes some of the latest cameras have are intriguing, like the iSweep mode in some Sony cameras, but I have no idea if any of these would work well enough in a glider. The GPS tagging sounds interesting, but I'm not sure it would be useful, and the two commenters on dpreview.com said it was slow to acquire the GPS signal. -- Eric Greenwell - Washington State, USA (netto to net to email me) - "Transponders in Sailplanes - Feb/2010" also ADS-B, PCAS, Flarm http://tinyurl.com/yb3xywl - "A Guide to Self-launching Sailplane Operation Mar/2004" Much of what you need to know tinyurl.com/yfs7tnz |
