First shots sd Quattro H
11

I have my sd Quattro H for some days now. I am pleased with the body. Looks and feels great. The LCD is much better than on my SD1 and the additional parameter display is a great add-on. Write times are OK and I like the focus peaking and the electronic level.

I must accomodate to the long lag between pressing the shutter and actually taking the picture, especially because the EVF is black for quite some time.

I am pretty pleased with the results so far. What I don't like is OOF rendering which doesn't look smooth and at ISO 800, I see a lot of hot pixels. Both things have never been a problem with my SD1. But resolution, colour and acuity are fine. Here are two shots at 50%.

One od my favorite statues.

I like the 3D of the "tunnel". Unfortunately, at 150mm and f3.2, the DOF is a bit shallow. I should have re-done it at f8 in order to get the middle sharp as well.
