What is the quality of the photo when using Wide Angle? I need to use this camera to take interior pics of homes.

it is a great camera, but I dont think it will do panorama shots. There is a program that will seem two or three shots into one. Pretty incredible.

Because its wide angle, it does pretty good in normal inside room lighting. It is about 160 wide angle I think. About equal to a 22mm. Hope this helps.

Yes, it is excellent! The Pro Low Light setting when using Macro mode makes it a snap for indoor close up shots!

It is great at taking ultra close up photos. You have to use the camera zoomed back to wide angle which is no big deal. You can shoot and area of about two inches wide by 1.5 in high. Great camera overall too. Feel free to contact me if you have further questions. Jim R. MPC

More than the IS, more than any other feature, the WIDE ANGLE is far and away the advantage of the sd800. It's the only camera I've had where you can take a picture of yourself with an extended hand and it's looks great. Do you know what an advantage that is when you're traveling? I'm annoyed that the sd750 has a 3" screen while I have to tolerate a 2.5 one, but the wide-angle lens makes it worth it.

Depends on how well lit the "inside" is at the moment the photos are taken. I'd used it in museums where no flash was allowed, and had to increase the ISO to about 1600 to get clear shots. Photos taken at ISO 1600 on this camera is acceptably good with a bit of noise but not too bad. Also, do use a faster lens with a wider aperture, such as the Panasonic 20mm F1.7 pancake lens.

This is a wide angle camera much like a gopro. It does a good job of giving you an overall picture behind the vehicle. It does take a little bit to used to distances and a feel for that but It works great . I have this on the back of my dodge 2500 long bed works great.

First, what camera are you shooting with and what lens(s) do you have already? Second, you said you need a wide angle lens. What kind of pictures are you planning to take? Let's go from here.Michael

Yes, the indoor photos are pretty good, not SLR, but better than a smartphone. It is a nice all around camera.

To use this for indoor basketball you would have to keep the aperture wide open (2.8) which means using it only at its wide angle. Shoot in aperture priority 2.8, and let the camera decide on shutter and ISO. One other issue with the camera is its autofocus. It can have problems focusing in dim light such as a gym so you may have trouble with focus.

Yes, this would be a great lens for interior shots. You may even consider the ultrawide adapter to use along with this but even without that it has fantastic picture quality and a very wide angle, around 100 degrees viewable. http://av.jpn.support.panasonic.com/support/global/cs/dsc/knowhow/common/img/l12/l12_01.jpgThe minimum aperture on the stock 16-55 lens is 3.5 but this lens takes it to 2.8, and for me, has given much better results than the stock lens.

Hi Erica- I like this camera a lot. I mostly usethe camera for shootingthe interior of rooms. The wide feature of the lense is excelent, I have not used the zoom to shoot distance.

Use a higher ISO setting. This camera takes great smooth pics all the way up to ISO 800. If your using it at the lowest setting (ISO 100) and you are indoors and/or outdoors with not enough light your pictures will blur occasionally.

Upon the advice of a fellow amazon shopper, I looked at SD800 IS and really liked the wide angle feature and hence bought that over the SD850.It is really confusing isn't it. I hope this helps. Goodluck.

I have been more than pleased with the image quality of the LF1. I have not seen the images you are evaluating. Check out Gordon Liam & Camera Labs for his review and serious sample photos.

Its a great all around lense. It produces very sharp images. Portrait shots will definatelly come out crisp but keep in kind that its a 70-300 lense, therefore; distance may be an issue when trying to shoot indoors.
