I shoot a lot downtown for my work, this was the first time I'd taken a point and shoot and just purposely took snapshots. It was cool early morning light, deep shadows, light bouncing off tall buildings. What you'll see here is 16 out of more than 200 I took (all on the very first charge of that unused Lenmar battery I found).
Please look at the "Original Size" for best versions.


I shot on Auto ISO for awhile till I figured I'd just as soon choose the ISO my own self. The 330, on P, chose to shoot at some pretty low shutter speeds but its image stabilization did a pretty darn good job of keeping things sharp, like the alley image above.

All of these images I ran through Lightroom, toning down highlights and bringing up shadows, just like I do with every worthy shot I take with any of my cameras.


I shot a lot around our new Amtrak rail station, called Union Station. A five year project that is pretty photogenic from a lot of different angles. Inside the covered tunnel that goes under these tracks, to inside the Station itself to this structure.

I don't know, maybe all modern Canons take great shots but I'm very impressed with what the 330 can capture. I don't apply the same "but is it croppable?" standards I do with my higher resolution/expensive lens DSLRs. I did crop just a bit on some of these but not much.

I've been going up to the top of a parking garage and taking pics of this project, with a ton of cameras and different lenses, since before it was dirt. From the looks of all the cranes it's not done yet! The above is at 24mm.
This next one is zoomed in to maybe 5x:

A lot of removable zooms for DSLRs don't hold up so well at full zoom. What's surprising about the 330 is how sharp it is even fully zoomed in:

And here:


Reflected light shows up in some pretty cool areas, like the shafts that lit up these planters:

Full on macro:
