What the 'ell??

I fell for Canon's claim that it was their flagship of the point & shoot lineup. Although it works perfectly..having just under 1k pictures taken on it, I found the 14.1mp sensor was too small and the pictures can seem a bit noisy if blown up to tv size. Also the video option isn't HD. I was really looking forward to the newly released Canon EOS M mirrorless model with the big APS C sensor. The reviews so far have been a bit underwhelming for an $800.00 camera. I could get as good results, and in some cases better, with the Canon Rebel T4i DSLR...but am trying to avoid a bigger bulkier camera. Anyway, if I decide this winter, you'll see more pictures of this area than you might want. |

Anyway, if I decide this winter, you'll see more pictures of this area than you might want. Have you tried the "mirrorless" cameras? Unless you get one with an electronic viewfinder option, you might find it hard to use outdoors, because under many conditions, what you can see through the "big" viewfinder on the back of the camera is limited by glare and by being washed out in strong sunlight. Also, if you are trying to fill the screen of a large TV set with photos taken on almost any size reasonably priced digital camera sensor, and you want "almost noiseless" photos on that big screen, it ain't gonna happen for several reasons, some of which have to do with the camera and some with the TV. I have an older "Rebel" similar to the one you mentioned, and it is bulky and heavy. Haven't actually tried shooting pictures but have handled some models like three Sony Nex family. I was looking atvthe Canon G1 X also...big sensor but with a fixed telephoto lens. A number of times I've looked at the Canon DSLRs such as the Top series, the D60 and then up to the D7. I really don't want to drag around a DSLRS with numerous lens etc. Maybe next year's version of the EOS M will be improved for 'action photography' |

Lighter though than the big D models and a lot less $$$. |

Anyway, if I decide this winter, you'll see more pictures of this area than you might want. I still like my Canon A400 although I have a more capable camera. It is truly point and shoot and for most things takes as good a picture as you can see on a 20" monitor. (or even my big screen TV) I have an old Kodak D40 and it's the same way. Still giving me all the photo capability I need for now... |

Another in your never-ending barrage of "we can't do anything, so let's do nothing" posts. I started a thread suggesting that all of the Hi-caps and assault weapons be put into a modified NFA style registry ... and then leave the owners alone. I got nothing. And this is going to solve WHAT? |
