Which is fine if it's wide is wide enough for you, but compact digital super-zooms are generally rather limited in the wide department.

The 27mm (35mm equivalent) wide end of the range is usually enough for my needs. When it's not, I'm usually able to stitch images to whatever angle I want. That leaves only a very small set of circumstances when I need a wider angle. I could of course address them with a wide angle adapter, but even that is more than I want to always be carrying.

And no one camera is best in all situations. straw man. nobody said either of those was the case.
