TOW Digital Photography

Can John L. or Tony explain about the lenses? I had a Cannon A5 and now have
an Olympus Camedia D-360L. My main gripe about the A5, and the D-360L also
to some extent, is that the lense that comes on the camera is in my opinion
equal to a non-digital SLR lense = 35mm which amounts to a wide angle lense.

This is very annoying as I have to clear the background of junk for 5 yards
in every direction or the lense picks it up as well as the plant I am
photographing.

It also collects way too much light and on both cameras I have to keep
turning off the flash, even at night.

Are the lenses on cameras different now? It would be nice if they had lenses
= 50 mm and not 35mm.
