Tamron AF28-300mm F/3.5-6.3 XR Di VC LD Aspherical [IF] Macro (Model
A20)? With the cropping factor of typical non-full frame bodies, that
would be much worse on the wide end than the Leica lens on my DMC-FZ8,
not much longer on the long end, much slower, and not even close
optically.

With what lens? With something reasonably close to the Leica lens, like
the Canon EF 28-300mm f/3.5-5.6L IS USM Autofocus lens, the weight
difference is huge:
* DMC-FZ8: 310 g
* Canon 300D + EF 28-300mm f/3.5-5.6L IS USM: 560 g + 1,670 g = 2,230 g
Even with the less good Tamron, the weight difference is still huge:
* Canon 300D + Tamron AF28-300mm F/3.5-6.3 XR: 560 g + 555 g = 1,115 g

the tamron just started shipping a few weeks ago. because it is so
new, there are no tests of it yet (that i have seen). so, how do you
know it is 'not even close optically' ? you are just assuming it is
not that great with zero facts to back it up.

The compact Panasonic DMC-FZ8 prosumer super-zoom bridge camera is
objectively better in terms of resolution than comparable DSLRs even
with fixed focal length prime lenses, much less roughly comparable zoom
lenses, and produces even better results in many cases due to big
advantages in terms of size, weight, lens speed, lens quality, handling
and flexibility.

True. I'm basing that on (a) experience with other Tamron wide range
zoom lenses and (b) the extreme specs of this lens. I'm pretty sure
Tamron hasn't found some magic that no other lens designers know of. Wink

This does echo my experiences with finding wide and tele adapters for
fixed lens cameras, in my city the camera shops only stock either a
small selection of them made for video cameras (to small in diameter to
be adapted) and some pricey ones made specifically for particular evf cams.
Such as the Olympus adapters made for the E10 and E20 and the adapters
for the Sony R1, neither of wich could be described as "cheap" compared
to the retail price of some consumer level zoom (d)slr lenses.

In Silicon Valley, I was surprised to see non-camera stores such as
Fry's and Micro-Center carrying such a large variety of adapters and
other accessories that you'd think would have to be ordered on-line or
purchased from a real camera store. The catch is that they only carry
them for the top-selling cameras, i.e. the Canon G series and the Canon
A series. You're not going to find any adapters for Olympus or Sony at a
big box store.

When I wanted the wide-angle adapter for my G2 I could have bought the
Canon lens and adapter locally, but everything I read said to avoid the
Canon stuff because the adapter design was flawed (too large) and it
interfered with the flash. I ordered the Lensmate and found the A-28 new
from Ritz.

Sony is #2 in overall sales (Olympus #4). So much for accuracy. LOL

The pricey exception that proves the rule, that there is no "booming"

Nope -- not booming then either.

Oops. Scramble mode. Smile

On the contrary -- the prosumer bridge camera market is what's actually
booming.

Well, I was thinking more of the 18-200mm f/3.5-5.6 Nikon (27-300mm
equivalent). I can't find the numerical review pages online right now,
but I think you will find the performance is similar. The speed issue is
an interesting one - is it better to have an f/5.6 lens on a sensor that's
four times the linear dimension than an f/2.8 lens on the smaller sensor?
It sounds close to me. My own experience shows that the DSLR working at
ISO 400 produces a better image quality than the Panasonic at ISO 100.

The weight comparison was between an SLR outfit with a Nikon D40 with
18-55mm and 55-200mm VR lenses, and a compact outfit with Nikon 8400 (for
wide-angle) and Panasonic FZ5 for IS zoom. Interchangeable lenses versus
interchangeable cameras!

I still have and use both DSLR and compact cameras.

Cheers,
David

The shutter lag on even the new point and shoots is way too long for
many users. Sports action shots are not possible. I do a lot of sports
photography. There's great value in being able to get the shot of the
bat hitting the ball, the first baseman making the impossible catch,
etc. You can't do that with even the fastest P&S camera. Also, sometimes
you want to capture a lot of frames per second, also not possible with P&S.

For landscape photography, even the longer shutter lags didn't matter
all that much.

The biggest complaint about point and shoot cameras by most owners is
_not_ high ISO noise, they don't even know what that means, it's the
shutter lag.

And a big disadvantage of the DSLR is size and weight. If you use
something besides the kit lens, size and weight worsen. Considering
the difference in heft between a Rebel and G7, one would reasonably
expect the Rebel to perform better than it does.

My Canon SD800 has relatively short shutter lag, certainly shorter than
the film Yashica T5 Super (with Zeiss lens) that I used to use.

However the shot confirmation makes it impossible to take 2 quick pictures
in a row, although it is rated 1.7 frames/second. Maybe that is only
when continuous mode is selected? Dunno. I really ought to research this
before the next time I use the SD800! Smile

Here's a small test I did this morning - same scene photographed with the
Nikon D40 6MP DSLR using the kit lens, and the Panasonic 7MP TZ3 with its
Leica lens:

http://www.david-taylor.myby.co.uk/imaging/QualityExperiments.htm

I know that the exposures are slight different, and that the framing is
slightly different. With the compact camera, I could not set the zoom
precisely as I wanted, with the DSLR what I got was slightly more than
what the viewfinder showed. It's interesting to compare the bottom left
corner for focus, and the top edge for the grey to red transition.
There's a lot even more difference at ISO 400, as would be expected.

Cheers,
David

The lens on one is noticeably better, as is the resolution. The color
is quite different as well. What white balance settings were in use?

I like the Panasonic 7MP TZ3 image much better because the color
is closer to neutral. Is that your point?
