SX50 Mini-Review Take Three - SX50 (and SX40) When the Light Goes Down

Augustin,

Like you, I spent part of my technology career designing and writing software. It sort of gives us a discipline to build and test details in an orderly manner that coalesce to fashion a useful product. Writing about technology and now about photography is very much the same process for me. Except with photography, besides the technical presentations, I also get to go out and enjoy the world in light and vision and try to capture some small part of its beauty. I do very much appreciate when these efforts become useful to others, so thank you.

I looked at taking the outdoor scene from in front of the clock. However I specifically moved back not only to provide a close counterpoint in the wide angle view but also, as you noticed, to see how much of the bright clock face would be rendered at each ISO. Yours is a good catch, Augustin, and I agree that the SX50 pulled it off much better.

Thanks again,

Vision
