Down size your DSLR & F1.4 Lens

[truel1111]

Do you know anyone who bought a sub $200 P&S camera recently ? I don't know how profitable is $100 P&S camera, it would make more sense for camera company to sell a $49.99 wide angle conversion lens, a $59.99 tele attachment lens for iPhone, Samsung Galaxy.

 

With each new release of iPhone, Samung Galaxy/Note, consumer will have to buy a new set of these attachment lens.

 

This is low tech, high profit margin buiness, don't know why Nikon/Canon/Sony/Olympus do not make these.

There is no mention of anyone using a Bridge camera.

I have been looking at them and feel they would suit me, especially for any travelling. The favourite for 2012 seems to be the Panasonic Lumix DMC-FZ150.

Their most recent model is considerably more expensive and would probably be of no advantage to me. It would be nice to hear how a user got on with one.

Beyond the oil of the D600 changing lenses with good discipline and risk of dust is a minscule inconvenience for the ability to change from 14-24 to say 70-200 focal lengths. I'll take that anytime over a one lense limited focal length with no dust risk.
