I tried that - in both full manual focus mode and DMF mode, my control ring does absolutely nothing.  Does this mean my camera is broken?

This is the second thread I've started on the same topic - the previous thread(in the Canon forum)filled up. Unfortunately, not in a good way. I was unable to post sample photos, initially, and...

Thanks - these are one of the most relevant comparison shots, I've seen. :)Let me try to explain in detail how *I* see these two shots (comparing at 1:1 resolution):-> Both have significant...

Thanks for the tip.  I'll add that in to my comparisons. - Jeff

I apologize for being slow to post pictures, respond to pictures, etc. You guys have been such wonderful help, that there's now 100 of you helping and only one of me to reply. : I'm barely able to...

If you look at the original size image, that's exactly what I mean when I say a photo looks like it's "drawn in sand" - not saying how another camera would fare in that situation, but this is the...

Yes, and that was a cheap shot - but I am very interested in night scenes.  I've also noticed that noise is mostly an issue with items out of focus, and that some cameras have significant issues...

Yeah - when I started this post, I was definitely leaning towards getting an S95 for my everyday pocket use, and I don't think there's been much to counter that thought, other than I so wish it...

Thanks Andrew, your description very much jives with my experiences.  If I could just find a manual setting that works in most cases and save it - but to be honest, in the majority of cases, I...

That is a very fair question, and one I've been asked by many people, including those that say I should just use a phone camera because its about making memories, not surveillance photos for the...

Of course, that RX-1 shot was worse than most I came across.  Most of the RX-1 photos had far less noise than the RX-100.

I guess you can't win all the time, even with a $3K camera... Here's an RX-1 image with significant noise outside the very shallow focal...

Thanks.  The RX-1 definitely got my attention, but sadly, I don't think I can afford it.  :(

Thanks, this is awesome, Robert.  I have to run out for a few hours, but when I get back, I'll look through these and decide how atypical my RX-100 might be.

Awesome advice, guys!  I keep forgetting the S95 doesn't let you zoom during video..

You're absolutely right!  I'm not good at concise posts, but here's my attempt to summarize:-> Had an SD950, went shopping for a new Canon pocket camera, like the SX series.-> Shocked to see the...
