Photo Forum / Digital Photography / Digital Photo / March 2005Digital camera with least shutter lag, optical viewfinder and 35/105 equivalent lens
Am buying my 1st digital camera with a budget of approx $500 Cdn. I have a Canon Rebel film SLR and love it - looking for equivalent, minus the removeable lens as long as I can get a 35/105 equivalent. As old habits die hard, I'm looking for one where I have the option of a "through the lens" style viewfinder. I'm also looking for the lowest possible shutter speed lag, as I like taking action shots. Small form factor would also be nice, which is why I'm trying to avoid the interchangeable lenses. Any suggestions? TIA - R. I have not kept up with non DSLR digital cameras so I can't give any camreas to look at, but I would look at getting a lens with more range then 35/105 equivalent. That is just about the range my Nikon 995 had, one of the reasons I get the Sony F828 was the larger zoom range, 28 to 200 equivalent. There are now a fair number of camera that have this range.

The kit lens is a very nice inexpensive 28-88 equivalent and your 35-105 should also work giving you a something equivalent to about 55 - 170. Shutter lag is almost 0. It has a real SLR viewfinder.

Check out the Canon G6, although it may be a little over you budget. You might also check out the following: http://digitalcamerashortlist.com/ It gives a short list (with features) of what they consider the best digital cameras as well as a list of cameras to avoid and why.

It's a bit over your budget, but considering the "kit" version with the 18-55mm lens goes for under CDN$1000 now, and the body-only package can be had for around $800-$850... less if you can find it used, or find a store that's unloading them because the new RebelXT is out, it may be worth scraping together a few extra pennies. You'll find it looks and feels very much like your film Rebel, basic functions work the same (shutter, aperture, focus point selection, etc.), and you can use your existing Rebel's lens(es) and any other accessories with it as well (flash, filters, etc.). If you bought the kit version of the film Rebel with the 28-80mm or 28-90mm lens, that lens will give the equivalent view/magnification to a 40-120mm or 40-135mm when used on the digital camera.

Not an equivalent of Rebel obviously, nevertheless, it is well regarded in reviews; it satisfies your other criterion: Ricoh Caplio R1v/Rollei dr5 (The Rollei has an additional video clip format, QuickTime Motion, and in 640 x 480 pixels) SignatureLin Chung.
