300HS have few feature more than SD3500. But still depend on your shooting style and habit. If you like everything auto, nothing much different.
300HS have less pixel than SD3500. That is good with small camera. Too much pixel is bad for small camera. |

I tested both b4 getting this..For sure Canon much better-lah..You can check my nite shooting on previous page..
 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..  QUOTE(c_calvin @ Aug 7 2010, 02:34 AM) 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 ?  |

QUOTE(ozak @ Aug 3 2010, 07:53 PM) Ok. Brought liao. Hi Bro Ozak: Not much color to choose. Only red, white and black. The red is dam plastically. It maybe cause by the shinning surface I guess. I choose the white.Price camera only - RM1200. Screen protector - RM20 SDHC 16Gb CL10 - RM159 Camera bag - RM15 Total - RM1394. Those accessory brought from LYP. Still cheaper than their offer package which throw in 4gb SDHC and a leather bag. The original leather bag is damn ugly.  Really not suit to this camera design.   Don't no my palm big or the camera small.   May I know which shop (which floor and the shop name) you bought the camera in LYP? I plan to get one as well.  Can you pls post the camera bag here for us to see? Thanks a lot brother. |

Just got this camera yesterday
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?  In the end i have to switch to shooting mode to choose a lower ISO. |

I seldom use the smart auto function
Anyway even at higher ISO, this backlite cmos sensor still can capture noise free images up to ISO 1600 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 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?

(Well I think) the image at high ISO is still nice compared to my previous camera where images starting from ISO 800 and above is totally unusable  |

QUOTE(-kytz- @ Aug 15 2010, 01:21 AM) Ehh i didn't know using f/2.0 aperture can produce less noise! To shot in low light, normally I choose F and speed priority over ISO in manual mode. Either tripod or handheld. Unless I have no choice. I don't like to shot in high ISO. The noise make the picture look teribble. Mostly I limit it max ISO400. This is indirectly to produce less noise. |
