Boas pessoal deste forum!
Sou novo por aqui e espero aprender muitas coisas através deste forum!
Actualmente nao tenho maquina fotográfica, ando a desenrrascarme com uma Canon A560 de um amigo meu.
Como diz o nome do tópico estou a pensar comprar uma Superzoom. Estou indeciso entre as seguintes opçoes:
- Canon S5 IS
- NiKon P80
- Olympus SP 570 UZ
- Panasonic FZ 18
Destas 4 à uma que já estou a por um pouco de parte que è a Canon. isto porque pelo que li no forum do Dpreview parace que a Canon vai lançar brevemente a substituta da S5 is.
Citaçao;
A few days ago I had begun to increasingly feel that Canon is going to discontinue the SxIS and F5xx lines after having discussions with some local store managers.
Today I met someone who is commercially directly associated with Canon (he works for the importing company who is authorized to import cameras directly from Canon.) He confirmed that the A5xx line has indeed been killed. But he said the SxIS line is very much alive. Ye! In fact the S6IS is going to be officially announced very soon. I couldn't get a specific time-frame but since he is not able to procure S5IS stocks directly from Canon anymore, his experience says the S6IS will be announced this month itself... i.e. July 2008.
He also feels that Canon will be announcing many new lines of P&S camera in the near future because they aren't able to commit stocks in larger numbers to importers like him at present. In his experience this is indicative of several new lines currently under production to replace the current range.
This is what he has quoted from memory (so some info could be slightly off the mark)
S6IS Specs
=======
Sensor Size: 1/2.3"
Sensor Type: CCD (he is sure of this)
Sensor Resolution: 10 megapixels
Wide Angle: Yes (he remembers it being either 28mm or 27mm)
Optical Zoom: 18x
Digital Zoom: 5x
Max Aperture: F2.8 (Wide)
Face Detection: Yes
Motion Detection: Yes (this seems to be something new)
Flash Shoe: Yes
LCD Swivel: Yes
LCD: 2.5"
Battery: AAx4
Video Resolution: 1024 x 768 (he is not sure of this)
Audio: Stereo
Would these specs be a good enough reason to upgrade from the S3IS/S5IS? For me, I think it would. The wide/tele focal range will really appeal to me if the optics is as decent as that of my S5IS.
And if it indeed has 1024 x 768 video resolution with a decent frame rate, the upgrade becomes irresistible for me at least!
Seja como for vou esperar para ver as especificaçoes oficiais da substituta da S5 is.
O que acham?
