best of pocketables, near to slr

(jon robert - 11/3/06)

I own 5 digital cams, and this is my favorite. It fits in my shirt pocket, with the cord around my neck so it won't fall out if I bend forward. It is about as good at 200iso as the 20D is at 400iso. The zoom is great for candid shots that I could not get with a large camera (people get nervous). I set the sharpness to -2, then sharpen up to 190 in photoshop. reduces noise a lot. Noise at 200 = noise at 400 in 20D. there are very few things to complain about, though it isn't perfect ( would like a bigger viewfinder, raw option, and grip surface where the thumb goes. But not big issues at all. I rate it as a 9/10. I am a pro photographer having shot over a hundred weddings. www. jonrp.smugmug.com
