Re: choosing a travel zoom

Hello opticsengineer,

Dont want or need a battle here but you ask me to read the quoted article carefully. I have done this but still disagree with your conclusion.

It says " During my fourth movie, the battery icon did start to flash.....I then powered the camera down and back up again, at which point the battery icon displayed two bars".

So you seem to think that a flashing low battery icon when later there is 2 out of 3 bars shown available is ok. Well either you are a canon apologist or you have a very different understanding from me as to what a low battery warning should be.

Anyway I would still like to hear from those who actually have hands on experience please, not just quotes from reviews. I'd like to buy another canon but need some real world feedback.

thanks
