正當大家 focus o係 Fuji S9000 vs. Panasonic FZ30 vs. Samsung Pro815 既時候....... Kodak just announced its newest prosumer class dc to join this prosumer war...... P880~

8.0 Megapixel CCD
F2.8-4.1, 5.8X optical zoom Schneider-Kreuznach lens, equivalent to 24 - 140 mm
Manual zoom and focus rings
2.5" LCD display plus electronic viewfinder (237k pixels)
25-point hybrid AF system
Full manual controls; shutter speed range of 16 - 1/4000 sec
Hot shoe plus PC sync port; supports new Kodak P20 Zoom Flash ($150)
First EasyShare camera to support the RAW image format; user can turn RAW images into JPEGs or TIFFs right on the camera
Can record video at 640 x 480 (30 frames/sec) until memory is full; user can zoom during filming; editing functions include trimming, splicing, cutting, and merging clips; user can also export frame grabs
All the usual EasyShare stuff: in-camera tagging for e-mail, printing, and favorites
Optional telephoto conversion lens
PictBridge-enabled
Ships in September for $599 (wow, that's quite a deal)

個人覺得140mm 唔多 enough.... but perhaps within 24~140, its focusing speed could be the fastest one.... due to its new 25-point hybrid AF system, and i think this is the very first time Kodak 加入光學防震~ interesting!!

再沒有o個d 大廠 玩prosumer
prosumer 已成為次廠的鬥爭

無防震呀~
防震係video防震~

hahaha.........好難講...... 人人都 suggest prosumer 死得.... but who knows canon 唔會出番部 pro2 (pro1 + IS + better manual and better movie) !?

Nikon 就好難講.... becuz they annouced the CP8800 not a year yet..... maybe they may come out a CP9000 able to go ISO 800 and VR stabilzation together ?? also a 640x48 30fps AND maybe a 320x240 60fps both unlimited time!?

we'll see........ prosumer dc still living .... even some dSLR using also purchase 1 or 2 prosumer dcs : P

近期出產prosumer 都是用機械式變焦鏡!
「機械式變焦鏡」是大熱的prosumer 新指標!
pro1 同CP8800都未玩「機械式變焦鏡」的prosumer ，
意思即係canon 同Nikon 還有潛力，
他們有能力改變現有prosumer 對大家的概念。

不過我相信這個月市場咁過熱
canon 同Nikon , 還有M記, S記都未必咁早插手
以防震功能，是次於「機械式變焦鏡」後另一prosumer 的新指標
使prosumer 不再是ＣＣＤ鬥大象素同鬥速度快咁簡單！

睇黎係鏡外對焦,外型好似無富士咁醒!!
再來德國大炮,比較吸引!!

200448~

fully agree!!!!

now the new generation of prosumer should:

either start @ 28mm, or 35mm but AT LEAST 12~13x zoom

and image stabilzation is got to be a MUST (either higher ISO up to 3200 or OIS able to make 3 stops faster.....etc)

they also needs to work on LCD's flexability (say rotatable and high-resolution LCD.....this is something dSLR can't use for take pictures)

and movie mode......some ppl think movie mode is 無mud 所謂.... but it also a big buy point.... that dSLR never able to archieve due to their foundation artitec.... mirror spilter....

a nice prosumer dc have the ability to make dSLR user 好想添置一兩部.... as the secondary powerful camera w/o the weight of dSLR ^___^

Next generation DC ?
How about exchangeable lens feature for DC.
Live histogram, no mirror vibration :-)

[Double Bass]

對這部機好有興趣

[Tsun~~]

喂...P880真係有防震咩?
好似淨係P850有????
