everyone can be an expert critic if you cut and paste
the fact is, this is an ultra compact digital camera. dont expect DSLR quality and functionality which the reviewer from dcresource seemed to expect.

The lens used here (and on the earlier T-series models) is an F3.5-4.4, 3X zoom Carl Zeiss Vario-Tessar model. As you can see by the maximum aperture,
this is a pretty "slow" lens, which means that it doesn't let in as much light as a "faster" lens. This becomes an issue when you want to keep the shutter speed as fast as possible. The focal length of the lens is 6.7 - 20.1 mm, which is equivalent to 38 - 114 mm. You cannot attach a conversion lens to the T33.
