Lens Size
The lens looks small. Does anyone know the size?

Thanks Everyone
Phillip for the comedy and Pete and Peter for the facts. I was concerned that the new Canon A1 would have a small lens like my DVC30. I'm glad to here it is a 72mm like my DVX.

Greg - you say you're 'glad to hear it is a 72 mm like your DVX', but the filter thread has very little bearing on the technical spec of the lens. 72 mm filters and accessory lenses are generally a lot dearer that 58 mm ones, so I contend that 58 mm is a 'better' filter diameter.
Sony's VX2100 has a 58 mm filter thread, yet it has a faster (f/2.4 at tele)lens and a 12x zoom as against Panasonic's 10x zoom that only manages f/2.8. tom. |
