Comparing a digital still camera that also happens to record video to a digital camcorder? So on the flipside, should the Panny also skewer the Sanyo Xacti for only having a measly little 7.1 megapixels for still photos, an inferior digital image stabilization, a smaller LCD, a not-so-wide angle and dark f/3.5 lens? BTW, the Panny takes those "big" 8GB SDHC cards too...
Apples to oranges, my friend. They're not even in the same class of devices.
Hey Tony, I think you misunderstood my post, or I wasn't very clear. What I meant was, if you're getting 15fps video, like you would possibly want for a website/email etc. then what's the point of having 720p?Anyone looking for web video will want 640x480 or 320x240. Anyone looking for hidef wouldn't want 15fps so as a feature it's a bit of a white elephant, or a marketing gimmick. The Sanyo has a wide lens acessory, AFAIK, and the image stabilisation is actually remarkably good., for digitallll 7.2 vs 12 mpix? I'm told my 'old' non L series lenses are not good enough to take advantage of the 11 mpix in my Canon 5D, so I had to spend $3000 to upgrade the glass. Now we have the same mpix on a ??$400 ? point and shoot.Do you think the glass will really be able to resolve detail to actually use those 12mpx?
