Great photo!!! Wow. One of the better H1 photos I have seen.

I bought an H1, but I am considering taking it back. I am here at Canon Talk seeing what people are saying about the S2IS.

Main reasons I am considering taking my H1 back.
  • Poor auto focus on moving subjects, especially my kids. I have had to delete so many pictures of my kids when they are moving, even slowly, because of motion blur and poor focus. When they are sitting still the pictures are great. I have tried increasing shutter speed, but this leads to underexposed pictures. My DSC-F707 is much better in similar situations.
  • Poor coloration or overexposure of nature shots with bright sunlight in the background. Even with lens hood and WB set to sunlight.
H1s Strengths
  • Great auto focus at 12x zoom. I was expecting problems in this area but was extremely surprised.
  • Little or no noise, even when viewing 5MP images at 100%
  • Virtually no shutter lag when not using the flash. Slight shutter lag with flash.
  • Great video quality. Video length is only limited by Memory Stick size.
  • Fast playback and write speed! (I guess I am used to my F707)
Reasons I am considering the S2
  • Adjustable LCD screen.
  • A few reviews say it does well focusing on moving subjects. (my main issue with the H1)
  • Ability to zoom when taking video clips.
Reasons I doubt the S2
  • The reviews and samples I have seen show more noise that may require post processing to get rid of.
  • Bought the SD300 this past Christmas. Loved the video quality and that’s about it. Thought the image quality would be comparable to my F707 because the SD300 was so much newer technology, not the case. Ended up selling it to buy the H1.
BTW, I thought it was funny that you would post an H1 pic on Canon Talk. You said you are not trying to bash the S2, if so, why didn’t you post it on STF (Sony Talk). If you haven’t already, I would post on STF as well, I am sure they would love it.
 
Thanks. I know that i'am welcome here in the CTF and not so sure about the STF. After all i'am a cubs fan and a canon man.

Thanks reway!!! Will you be looking at the new canon 610-620 when it comes out?? It might be great for macro.

The only problem with waiting is that when & if a pro2 comes out,there might not be any pro1s around to buy.

well I cared to read the never ending stream of all the "horror" stories people posted here about the S2, in the style of ..

.. and that was more than enough to turn me to the H1 ... fortunately all the very good pictures on the Sony forum were an additional bonus ..

Great pictures, Inky! After Sept 1 I shall start teaching Molly how to take pictures. I will let her use my S500.
