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 ? This post has been edited by c_calvin: Aug 7 2010, 02:34 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?  In the end i have to switch to shooting mode to choose a lower ISO. |

QUOTE(stimix @ Aug 14 2010, 09:18 AM) I seldom use the smart auto function yeah i guess that's the good thing bout this camera 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) the image at high ISO is still nice compared to my previous camera where images starting from ISO 800 and above is totally unusable  |

I'm not an expert
 but I came across this post at dpreview just now, hope it can help u. QUOTE I saw the announcement of the sd4500 and was tempted. I really miss a longer zoom range. I've come to appreciate the 2.0 aperture for taking photos in low light. However, the aperture size quickly gets smaller when zooming so it's most effective in low light at 2.0. The 28mm wide angle is certainly nice but I could live without it. Realizing the pros and cons, get the one with the features you use most. It it's wide angle/low light, the sd4000 makes sense. If it's outside in good light and you want to zoom in, the sd4500 may be a better choice. Full discussion is here SD4500 vs SD4000 (FYI, SD4000=300HS, SD4500=1000HS) |
