Ehh i didn't know using f/2.0 aperture can produce less noise!

ISO400 is pretty much the limit for all of us compact users here Be it LX3,S90,G11 or 300HS .

But resizing it to about 800x600 does "reduce" the noise considerably but you pixel peep, it's a whole different story

Oh ya and having a f/2.0 lens does help out with higher shutter speed or lower ISO but doesn't at all produce "real bokeh" due to the puny sensor

Well, i'm guessing you were shooting at low light?Most compacts don't fare well at low light situations

And there is more to just MegaPixels which affects Picture Quality.Too many factors to consider such as lens quality,built in processor, sensor type/quality,settings such as aperture,shutter speed,ISO performance,built in Noise reduction which will either balance out the detail:noise ratio or just bluntly go for pure NR(in the case of G11), built in Optical Image Stabilisation(different manufacturers have different terms for this)

So blaming picture quality solely on the amount of Megapixels isn't fair.There are other factors to consider too



Agree on this.Wide angle lens is very desirable on compacts



It's like that.Superzooms or compacts with high zoom range will have a significantly higher F value to cover the whole range eh

And picture quality/details/sharpness will therefore be compromised through out the focal length because of the huge range there

Don't think there are any 300-400mm f/1.8 in the market now.Perhaps i remember a 300mm F2.0 from Sony or Olympus? Would probably cost Rm20K anyway



Sometimes you gotta understand the limitations and compromise of a superzoom.It's technically harder to produce a high zoom range lens with very wide aperture.Even DSLRs don't have those lenses Oh wai, got 300mm f/2 but need to pay Rm20k

Your hands shaky izzit?

Getting a blur image is because your camera used a slow shutter speed to compensate for the lack of exposure due to low light.Either this or the camera bumps up the ISO and you'll get noisy images.That's only if you're using fully Auto la

Using a manual PnS like the 300HS enables you to fully take control of the camera's shutter speed, aperture and ISO settings to your desire.You can freeze water drops or take a long exposure of a night scene, produce "bokeh" or stunning landscapes with great depth of field.Everything is within your control!

That's why manual PnS are so desirable nowadays

Obviously the S95 gets to pawn

Inappropriate comparison

*runs*

Had this problem numerous of times before.Guess it's due to network time out?

Try imageshack And do remember to resize it lol
