No Elph owners out there, eh?

I'm still experimenting a bit with the setup. I was a bit concerned with some of the reports of mediocre performance with Smart Auto on the Elph 300, but I wonder if Canon has improved things. I can see a minute difference between the fine and superfine compression, but when I tried a few shots with Auto in poor light (overcast, very flat lighting) it seemed to manage pretty well.

I have provided some info in this recent thread: http://www.dpreview.com/forums/post/52717462

Thanks, Brian - I searched but somehow missed that post.  I've plugged those settings in and I'll give it a try tomorrow - contrast +1, EV -.3, metering on center weighted average, iContrast on (this camera only has "auto" and "off" - I assume auto works).  Very helpful indeed!

Do you have an opinion in fine vs. superfine compression - is it worth the size difference to keep it in superfine mode?
