Re: snap focus = gimmick

If think a lot of People are forgetting the fact that the Original Poster is on a tight budget and wants a decent enough street outfit.

The latest and greatest sensors are not going to be always better, camera`s with older sensors will be fine.

Its quite possible to be able to find a body plus three lenses that will fall into his budget.

I pointed out the The GF2 kit including the 14mm lens can be picked up for £300, a lot of places charge $300 just for the lens.

Amazon are selling the GF2 + 14mm lens for $300.

This will leave enough left over for two more lenses.

Say either the Sigma 19mm or Pany 20mm, and add the Olympus 45mm for a very comprehensive street outfit.

I was out using this GF2 outfit the other day, body + 3 lenses weighed about 700g
