Re: Just having fun

Interesting, but no surprise the S5IS, a bridge camera never intended to be used seriously on Auto, would be defeated by comparison on that standard. JPEG output can readily be modified with Func button settings for contrast, sharpness, saturation and RGB color/skin tone - these tend to be "set it and forget it" to user taste. I'd also bet the more automated new models, that deal with adversity by pumping ISO and smearing the noise down with NR, can create situational problems the older models can handle better. I've occasionally ask myself "What would Auto do?" but almost always move on from there to manual settings (including the CHDK enhancements) - with due deference to the Wisdom of the Great Algo. Same applies to my phone, for that matter.
