Does anyone know a wide angle camera with zoom from 24mm?

It must be an ultracompact or a small poit and shoot. Thanks!

Hi Step,

The Kodak V705, V610, and V570 all feature a unique-to-Kodak dual lens construction with a 23mm wide angle lens and a longer zoom lens.

The V705 is a 7.3MP camera with a 5x optical zoom.

The V610 is a 6MP camera with a 10x optical zoom.

The V570 is a 5MP camera with a 3x optical zoom.

Hope this helps!

Why according what I read in V610 specs its zoom is from 38-114mm and 130-380mm? Where is the 23mm?

Step,

I'm sorry, I messed up. Of the cameras I listed, only the V705 has a 23mm wide angle. I got confused and thought that all of the dual-lens models featured the wide angle lens. Apologies!

I can't think of any other super compact cameras with a 24mm or wider lens, but there are several 28mm models. The Canon SD800 IS, for example, has a 28mm wide angle with a 3.8x zoom, and also features optical image stabilization. Something to consider...

Step, I have not find any point and shot cameras with a 24mm lens. There are specialty cameras but you are in luck as Panasonic has just released the Lumix DMC-LX2. LX2 has Optical image stabilization, 10mp and 4x zoom (28-112). That’s wide angle but the real feature of this camera is that it is a wide-screen 16:9 format for photos and movies and it will fit in your pocket or purse. Dimensions are 4.2 x 2.2 x 1.0in

If you want widescreen movies, the Lumix LX2's movie mode takes full advantage of the 16:9 format with a higher-than-average movie resolution of 848 x 480 pixels at 30 frames per second with sound. It can also record with VGA (640 x 480) resolution at 4:3 (std TV), The wide screen is not “high definition".

The camera can easily be adjusted between 16:9, 3:2, and 4:3 settings. When shooting at 16:9 the camera uses all 10mp. When you flip to 3:2, resolution drops to 8.5 megapixels, at 4:3 it goes to 7.5 megapixels. Remember the camera uses the widest sections of the 16:9 10mp and crop shots for 3:2 and 4:3.

On-line price $400.

Another option is the Canon SD800. Image stabilization, 7.1mp and 3.8x lens (28 – 105mm) Another wide angle and besides it’s a Canon. Great in low light and will take movies with sound. Picture quality is GREAT. On-line price under $375

You can not go wrong with either. I am a Canon fan but for your use I recommend the LX2.

Happy movie and picture taking.

Thanks Ben and K75rider for your recommendations.

For a wide angle at 28mm I have already one model in mind: Olympus FE-200. Its 5x optical zoom is from 28-140mm, longer than both Canon SD800 IS and Panasonic Lumix DMC-LX2. It has almost all the good features such as IS and movies, and it costs substantialy less ($175 at J&R). The only downsides are: 1. It uses xD cards which cost more and not interchangeable with other more common memory cards; 2. It is slow according to some reviews. Any other reasons that I should not buy Olympus FE-200?
