Re: RAW @ ISO 1600 - SX30 v SX40 v G12

I downloaded the above pics to my computer to compare them.

The sx40 definitely looks like an improvement over the sx30 - the sx40 has more detail, less noise, and less fuzziness.

The g12 is better than the sx40 but not by as much and not by as large of an amount - the g12's colors are slightly less vivid, but it also has almost no color noise while the sx40 still has some noticeable color noise. The g12 appears to have a tiny bit more detail but it's a very, very small improvement.

While the g12 is better than the sx40, it's by a small margin, while the sx30 to sx40 difference is big enough to be a real difference (and mean neither is night and day but you might be able to see the sx30 to sx40 difference in monitor sized pics).

I had gotten the impression that the sx40 was definitely better than the sx30, this certainly confirms that...
