I tested both b4 getting this..For sure Canon much better-lah..You can check my nite shooting on previous page.. biggrin.gif all without tripod. Canon having bigger sensor size compare to TX5/7. But there's few features Sony have but not canon such as swipe panorama & all the weather proof fearures of TX5.. smile.gif

i know that this camera can take good picture in low lighting condition but most of the review I've read so far tested the camera on a tripod.
Just wondering how's the quality of handheld low light image of this camera? It is comparable to those handheld twilight shots by Sony TX5, TX7 ?

I seldom use the smart auto function biggrin.gif Anyway even at higher ISO, this backlite cmos sensor still can capture noise free images up to ISO 1600 smile.gif My only dislike using Auto mode - you can't tweak the colour to vivid. (Well I think)
QUOTE(c_calvin @ Aug 14 2010, 03:26 AM)
Just got this camera yesterday  biggrin.gif

Did you guys found out that when using smart auto mode, this camera seems to have the tendency to choose a higher ISO most of the time?  blink.gif
In the end i have to switch to shooting mode to choose a lower ISO.

Those super-zoom camera is good for those wanna captire faraway object but one thing for sure after my dissapointment wth my older Lumix 10X zoom...worst ever picture quality.

The higher F value already hinting something bad. You will not be getting F2 and wth small sensor...Nevertheless, the 1 cm macro really a suprise

Really have to compare side by side haha. Yes, LX3 sensor even bigger than S90. To compensate smaller sensor size, 300HS is using a totally diff tech i.e backlite illuminated sensor. Meaning of all the wiring fronting the sensor as in LX3/S90, 300HS wiring is located behind the sensor and thus more light & less noises.

QUOTE(swgiant @ Sep 2 2010, 07:42 AM)
Hi, how does it compare with LX3? LX3 has a larger of image sensor size, in theory the noise and light should get a better control than 300HS. So how about in the reality? and tone of the color?
