I just tried P100 in focus.. not its strength point. Screen flips up and down only. u can't see yourself or turn side. Canon G11 is a competitor.

Looks like the P100 - Snapsort says that it beats both of those. P100 looks like a great camera.

Hi bobtwist,

As best we can tell the P100 has a f stop range of f2.8 to f5. Normally you would be interested in two ranges - the range at the widest angle 26mm (zoomed out all the way) and the range at max telephoto 678mm (zoomed in all the way).

Typically the range denotes (best wide angle f-stop) - ( best telephoto f-stop). The f stops will go higher - typically f10 on digicams but this is less important than your best f-stop.

Hope this helps - this is probably info we should have. f/stop is a very important consideration to understanding how much light you're going to get in - especially with such a massive zoom on this camera.

Cheers,

Chris
