P&S camera with the smoothest zooming action

External Since: Jun 03, 2007 Posts: 74

I wonder if any of the camera enthusiast in this newsgroup knows which
Point and Shoot camera which has the best zoom button. I found that
some toggles or buttons for zooming in and out are difficult to use.
Is there a digital camera which which has two level zoom to fine
tuning the zooming action? The zoom button in a Canon G7 is difficult
to use (too small), and not very smooth. Either you need a very
steady hand, or you end up getting frustrated to achieve the picture
inside the frame that you want. Perhaps a push button + or - zoom
toggle is better than the toggle around the shutter release button? I
notice that Panasonic Lumix FZ50 use a manual zoom ring (like zooming
in digital SLR camera lens). Is there many other P&S camera which has
similar zoom feature like FZ50.
Thanks for info

You can always move closer or further away for fine control.
