What is the difference in Digital CAMERA LENSES?
I want to buy digital camara but an confused about the lenses, Leica (Panasomic), Zeiss, etc. I was looking at Olympus Stylus model but there was no specs on the lens. Someone told me some lenses are glass (Leica & Zeiss) and they are the best. Olympus doesn’t specify if theirs is glass or plastic. Thanks for your time.
Yes, the best lenses are glass, however in a compact digital camera the sensor may not be high quality enough that you could even tell the difference between glass or plastic. The best thing you could do to test image quality is either go to a shop where you can shoot pictures yourself and compare the images to other similarly priced cameras, or look at the reviews on dpreview.com
To answer your question directly, Olympus does not specify whether or not their lenses are glass, however on their website (http://www.olympusamerica.com) they do specify if the lenses are rated ED or not. ED (or Extra-low Dispersion) lenses are likely glass, as there would be little point to coating a plastic lens with ED fluid.
