Exactly, it's a non issue! The 148.91745 "chimp" is outdated, at leads to aspherical elements responding non-laterally to the higgs field, resulting in, at best, a 0.2% shift in optical cohesion. Sure, it prevents thermal overload but the technique significantly degrades edge contrast just off the optical axis, running diagonally along the z-axis of the virtual image.

I took my copy and cracked it open. I found the two spruving bearings were 15% out of specs, so I replaced them. I also upgraded the forty-one manestically spaced grouting brushes from nylon to ceramic (it's cheap and easy to do, so WTH). The metapolar refractive element tested to 99.99%, so I left it in place. I checked CA with my transcendental hopper dadoscope and found no issues, especially considering the six hydrocoptic marzul vanes were so fitted to the ambaphascient lunar wain shaft that side fumbling was effectively prevented. The panendurmic semi-bulloid slots of the coloid stator was worn, but not enough to affect the work I do. YMMV in this respect, though, especially those using the lens for professional portraiture.

1. Yes.
2. Yes.
3. Yes
4. Cell phone cameras will continue killing P&S sales.
5. Can't be done. Insufficient input. Different camera types, How did that Korean brand get on the list?

Are you SURE about that? What if I use a catadioptric lens instead of an apochromatic lens?

You'll need a carbon-fiber lens body to avoid the thermal expansion issues associated with metal bodies which changes the spacing of the individual elements as the temperature changes.

Well, the guide you provided was very usefull, KmH! In your opinion wich one is the best and why: Fuji s4500 or Samsung wb100? I can buy the Fujifilm for 150-190€ and the Samsung for 117-145€. Here are the specs of each one:

Fujifilm s4500: FinePix S4200, S4300, S4400, S4500 | Specifications | Fujifilm Global
Samsung eb-100uz: Specs - Point-and-Shoot SAMSUNG WB100 | Samsung Cameras

You mean I wasn't helpful

You explained to me the physics behind the lenses Do you have any insights about these 2 cameras? Im really divided between the 2 of them!
Samsung has more MPx (16vs14), a better macro specs (min - 1cm vs 2cm of fuji) and is cheaper.
Fujifilm has a better zoom (30xvs26x, though with a smaller minor f) and a well known tradition in photographic cams.

LOL - I explained to you a bunch of malarky!

I had a samsung, it was a good camera optically. The UI was a bit odd, but it grew on me. Unfortunately one day it just completely fell apart. I mean... COMPLETELY FELL APART. This I'm being 100% serious about, not joking around or exaggerating, I was literally left with a bunch lens components in my hand and the camera body.

I liked that camera for what it was, but clearly their was a weak point in it's design which caused a catastrophic failure.

You couldn't JB Weld it back together?

 

[unpopular]

maybe Samsung cameras should come with a tube, just in case?

 

[christop]

That's what happens when you remove the "warranty void if removed" sticker....

That IS where the JB Weld was hiding!

Use a binary decision process.

Heads get the Fuji. Tails get the Samsung.
