Re: Canon SX710 ~ a Walking Review

Thank you, Andy. Later I'll add some high-ISO shots. I can tell you now, though, that these cameras more or less require low ISO settings. I would suggest they are going to deliver best below ISO 400.

My setting of just 100 was a mistake. I wasn't familiar with the controls. Even so, it's good to see the results of an all-100 ISO selection.

A million years ago, when we used mainly 35mm slide film, we preferred ASA 25 to ASA 64; and ASA 100 seemed pretty second-rate. We could go up to ASA 400, but the graininess was immediately apparent. So now it seems sort of like old times: you can go way above 400, but your picture quality will pay for it.

Anyway, for interest, I'll take more pictures to see how they turn out at high ISO ratings.
