Re: Two weeks with the SX720: some questions (photo n00b)

@saaber1 & reyalp: thanks a lot your advice is great help.

Before making a long reply I'm taking some days to experience the camera with what I've learned from you guys.

Until then just two additional questions :

1. do you use 'super fine' jpeg treatment? for me it didn't seem to make a notable difference but I haven't looked much into it anyway (only about 10 shots with it). I wonder if it's beneficial or if it messes with the contrast, creates halos around edges etc, that sort of stuff. Because reviews barely explore this and if it's anything like the kind of simple and non-adjustable sharpening options you find in the realm of cheap video, then it's either good and can be used a lot, or bad and banned forever.

2. is WiFi on all the time or off? or just asleep until you press the sharing button? it's a bit confusing because I remember seeing the signal bars appear on the screen sometimes (most times not tho) apparently there is no proper on/off switch for it in the menus. Tbh so far I have been using USB only.

@PhotoRaw: I got the Canon because I prioritized out-of-camera jpegs quality. the equivalent Panasonic super-zoom compact cameras apparently have worse jpegs, but can shoot RAW (and come with fancy stuff like touchscreen, a small viewfinder, etc)
