Re: What happened to the A series?

Nice action shot.  Shows why my wife and I still have 2 A710IS's (7 MP) and one A720IS (8 MP).

Back then, Canon's stated policy was to use as little processing of the images in-camera as they could.  That ended with the G7 which had a fair amount of noise reduction applied.  The A650IS and G9 used the same or very similar sensors, and the 650 had a lot more noise at ISO 400 and above; but it also retained a lot more detail.
