Re: Just having fun

My mom loves it: it fits in her pocket and she doesn't have to care for the settings anymore which at her age is a big plus. This is why I bought this particular camera.

As for myself, I switched to the P mode after trying it for five minutes and yes, I missed the TV, AV and M modes. But hey, the camera was for her and three modes would have done nothing more for her. She was already struggling with her three previous digital cameras.

As you saw, the SX620 has a good overall quality in this difficult test and in my opinion, it was even better than the 7D and the G16 in auto mode. Of course, when I switched these two cameras to TV mode, they became much better although I am still struggling to determine a clear winner.

SX620 auto mode

7D TV mode

G16 TV mode

Which one is the best? Of course, I didn't take advantage of the RAW files and I didn't process the pictures other than cropping them.
