A Camera for Those Who Like to Take the Broad View
The wide-angle settings of the zoom lenses on most
digital cameras are hardly wide at all - at least by the standards of film
cameras. The widest lens available for a digital camera has been equivalent to
28 millimeters, which allows you to take in nearly 20 percent more of a scene
than a 35-millimeter lens (the smaller the number, the wider the lens). But only
a few cameras manage that, and going wider still has required mounting
cumbersome lens converters on the camera.
