Distortion correction gone wild?

Quite expected for such a small sensor. Did you try the noise reduction in Lightroom? It should be able to get rid of some chroma noise at least.

You do realize that this was an 11 year old thread? They were probably talking about the first S110 from Canon.http://www.amazon.com/Canon-PowerShot-Digital-Camera-Optical/dp/B00005LB8P

You might want to start a new thread about this though, as it has nothing to do with JPEG size.

I think distortion correction could be a contributing factor here. The S95 has DC as well, but the S100 obviously needs more.

The P7700 has more in-camera sharpening and the G15 has more in-camera noise reduction.

What you see is the effects of noise reduction. It's clear in those photos that Canon applies much more NR to the JPEGs than Nikon does. Stupid, I know. But people are scared of noise and Canon...

Yes, DXO Optics uses another distortion correction formula (than the one in DPP and ACR) and does keep more of the original capture. Especially if you deselect "Keep aspect ratio".

Easy. Compactness. You can now mark the question as answered.

I get a feeling of Deja Vu here. Didn't you post about this already?

A tip, check out the galleries over at dcresource.com. The biggest difference that I can see is that the G15 lens is sharper, particulary near the edges.

That's great! Now, could you mark your question as answered, please? Otherwise this thread will go on "forever", with the same arguments over and over again.

That was a joke, right? If not, design is more than meets the eye. Think inside the camera. Think engineering.

To me, this is very good news. It was a gamble. Would people realize that a big sensor is desirable thing. Or should we just go with the megapixels. I honestly never thought this camera would take...

Shoot JPEG+Raw and you get all the advantages.

Please post one of the soft images, or a link to one. I'd like to compare with what I have now.

No, not a deal killer. It's just something I hope for whenever I hear Canon is releasing a new G/S series camera. I use the two-second timer a lot (to avoid camera shake) and find the bright red...

Thank you.Still no way to deactivate the self-timer lamp. Oh well, maybe next time.

I feel it takes about a year to get to know a camera. That's why I shake my head a little when people return a cam after a week or two.

One thing is for certain, ACR will deal with the noise in a totally different way.
