The Panasonic LX1 has a CCD format of 16:9, it has a lens equivalent to 28mm, does it mean that it has the same angle of view as a 4:3 camera with a 28mm equivalent lens? Or is it incomparable since they are two totally different formats?
i think from the look of it, it says that its using a 16:9 CCD, strange... but den again... makes me wonder... if 16:9 is to fill up 28mm, den when its for 3:2 or 4:3 which i think is only using the centre portion, isn't that cropping, if so, when using that aspect, is it still 28mm?

same concerns here... i was wondering if i crop a photo taken at 28mm from a 4:3 image to 16:9, would it be any diff from the full field of view from lx1? If so then i wonder why dun panasonic just put a 28mm lens on the cam... instead of all the hassle to make a 16:9...:bsmilie:
