I've been giving passing thought to adding a p&s to my collection,
and like the specs of the IS-3, but haven't had a chance to visit a
camera shop and actually check one out until recently (no camera
shops in Peach Orchard).
Thats a lot of camera! Size is a concern for me, and the IS-3 is
easily as large as my 4T with winder, 200 mm lens, and then some. I
was surprised.
However, I also looked at the IS-20 and was suitably impressed with
its size and design. They didn't have any of the pocket size
Olympuses.
Has anyone used the IS-20? Which of the pocket sized AF Olympuses
would be worth looking at?
FWIW, the intended uses of this camera would be as a backup to my OM
bodies, snapshots at parties, and occasional news pix when I need to
be more inconspicuous than my Domke full of Zuiko will allow. I'd
like some sort of zoom, but anything 35-70 or so would be adequate.
If I need much more than 100, I'll reach for a "real" camera.
