Digital camera question

[Marie Boyer]

A friend wants a digital camera with a "wide angle lens." I am assuming that she will need an SLR level camera (with such a lens) to get this. Am I right? Or do some point and shoots offer this feature?

If there is a point and shoot that can do this, will you let me know which? Thanks!!!!

I know the Canon S70 has a wide angle lens, but it's on the bigger side of point and shooters. It does have a lot of manual controls though, so take a look at that.

PC world magazine did an article about SLR cameras a few months back. I would check out their web site and compare.

www.photo.net is a good source for digital info.
