Brian,I generally have been putting i-Contrast On in harsh mid-day light and sometimes during dusk when the sky is very brightly colorful but much of the foreground is in the shade. Re using...

Just saw these.  Your pp must include some HDR work?  Whatever you're doing, it's so good compared with all the overdone stuff and your pictures are both realistic but also clear and tonally...

Love the expression and the hands, especially the left hand...

I changed the Canon SX260 sets link in the sig-line so that no one has to look at the verbiage on that page but couldn't edit the page to correct previous ones.

The heat in a car on a hot day with the windows closed could hurt that camera's electronics if kept in the glove compartment for any lengthy time.  ?I keep mine in a minimally padded cloth...

Well, I have the SX10 and I have much more noise on that at iso 400 than I have on this one at iso800 in low-light interiors.   Actually, in my sigline I have links to other uses of the SX260...

I've been impressed with the Canon SX260 (replacing my SX10 IS which had a lot of noise in low-light) when it comes to image stabilization of the zooming and the relative cleanness of the image......

Apfelbaum,That's reassuring. I used the Canon SX260.  I was pleasantly surprised that in that light (it was darker inside than it looks in the video),  using the zoom (about 110mm-equiv) seemed not...

Mine (bought in December)  doesn't have the hissing or white noise, but in a quiet room I can hear the zoom motor too well.    I finally tried out a real-life try when sitting at a pizza place and...

I shared that conundrum, yes. I was not using my Canon Rebel XT with 70-300mm and but left it alone for an S95 and then complemented the S95 with a Canon SX10, which has a 20x zoom and was doable...

In your Canon shot, you were focused on the back window and tiles - that's why his face is not as clear there.The shutter value was also twice as long.  Why not use 'P' mode and set your own ISO...

Well, outside of the 3 small ones I noted, the Canon SX260 replaced a Canon SX10 IS that I've been using for 3 years as the one with a long lens (20x also) but it feels almost as large as my Canon...

I'll definitely look that up at Lensmate.    No more very-small Case Logic if I go with it, I guess, but it would make a big difference in ease of use in high contrast situations.Thanks for all...

That latter's a really good idea since the lens is so much slower than we normally use...Let us know how it goes.

At the end of May, I was in Yosemite when at the end a sudden storm came in, and I went up to Tunnel View where I spent about 5 hours waiting for the rain, snow, fog, and mists to take a break and...

The Canon spot metering tends to also determine the focus.  I use spot metering about 90% of the time, because it's also flexible but gives control of blown-out areas in p&s cameras.    On the S95,...

Optics,I haven't looked to see what the software version is. One thing that helps with lower light is to use spot meter on an important area of focus instead of evaluative metering, since it's...

I have a Canon S95 (excellent), Sony RX100 (superb) and a Canon SX260 (most flexible and surprisingly capable), but the first two have better default contrast.    I also have a Canon Rebel XT with...
