Hello.
I have a Canon Digital Rebel XTi, which I plan to equip with a Canon 70-200mm f4 L USM for outdoor shots, and a Canon 24-70mm f2.8 L USM for general use. My friend is looking at Sony's new "point and shoot" ultra-compact DSC-T20/W. He insists that with all of the Sony's bells and whistles that it will be just as nice, if not better, than the Rebel XTi with the L series lens.
Now, this is a cute camera and all, but with a focal length of 6.33 - 19mm, and aperture range from f3.5-5.6(Wide), f4.3-10(Tele), I can't see how on earth it will be even close to the Rebel Xti with the L series. Am I correct there? Am I missing something in the specs of these cameras? It seems to me the Rebel XTi with this glass will crush the Sony. Any comments?
Here's the Sony:
