How does this camera compares with the Sony TX-7 and WX1? I'm getting a 300HS in a couple of days and just wanted to know how it fares against other CMOS sensor P&S..

QUOTE(stimix @ Jul 7 2010, 05:03 PM) Sony is one of the 1st using this new tech of High sensitive back lighted CMOS or their trade marked 'Exmor-R" sensor"..Canon abit late lor & this 300HS is Canon 1st using their so called "Back illuminated" HS sensor. I think same tech-lah where the wiring is at the back of sensor compare wth the conventional type where sensor located fronting the sensor thus less light coming in. Thanks alot stimix.. Really helpful info u have there.. Will test both brands later..However, TX5/TX7 & WX1 is using smaller apperture size compare to 300HS i.e 1/2.4 only..haha on'y 0.1 nia lah..haha TX5 was my choice earlier b4 testing at the shop & glued on Canon 300HS. The diff wth TX7 & TX5 is only TX7 ability of 1080 videocam & TX5 just like 300HS - 720p. However TX 5 can dive & battery will not kaput below freezing temp. There are pros & cons...Just goto any shops & compare & u decide urself. I kinda like TX5 bcos of weather proof & also superior macro level at 1CM nia compare to 300HS at 3cm. & also the panorama function which Canon 300HS dun have.. However after trying on some macro, dark room & auto mode + the manual apperture & shutter speed..This TX5/TX7 can't do that..100% auto & always give wrong shooting..haizzz...Sumore dun have the fisheye, miniature, accent & swap colour mode that Canon having...so me choose Canon 300HS lor..   Had my eyes glued to the 300HS already and somehow cant find reasons to like the sony, eventhough cheaper(WX1) and smaller? Guess i will follow my instinct and get the 300HS..  One more thing, hows the battery life of the 300HS? |

I got a myself a unit last week but haven't had the time to really use and explore the camera. Being a compact, i wasn't expecting much initially. But i have to say i'm impressed with the camera's ability to take pictures in the dark, and without flash. The f/2 and backlighted lens really helps i guess..

I realised that my 300HS tends to have this inconsistent focusing problem. Sometimes when youre in the rush, pictures come out all blurry. Is this due to the f2.0 aperture or am i focusing at the wrong places?
 QUOTE(balgat @ Sep 1 2010, 06:00 PM) can i ask something? this camera got how long warranty? 1 year? 1 year default, register the warranty online and get another 2 years extension. So total 3 years. This post has been edited by claxxion: Sep 1 2010, 06:03 PM |
