You might say "noo not another goofy photographer".., but I'm not a photographer who has that much experience with digital cameras. That is a lot to learn for me and that's why I'm here.
First thing that strikes me is the focal length range. My old camera was an analog one, canon xyz.. , I've forgotten the name of it, it was equipped with a focal length range of 35-70 mm, so far so bad.
Maybe it's not the best tip to go spotting with this dinosaur of a camera... Indeed I go watching planes without this camera. Until now I've read some camera and lens reviews on dpreview so that I wonder why the lenses are e.g. 18-55 mm . I understand that for digital compact cameras they say e.g. equiv. 36-432 mm. But why don't they say "equiv." for lenses?
And is there a way to convert the "lense-format" into "equivalent-format"?
(maybe this is only for people like me who were not raised with DSLR
)
And finally, which focal length range would you prefer when you had to buy a digital compact camera? Equiv. 35-210 mm or does it have to be a superzoom (with worse aperture range)?
So long.
