He talks a lot about blowing highlights, "crazy" WB and other negative stuff, perhaps unfairly.

Based on a sample of one, he seems none too gentle with adjustments ...

Using Multi-segment metering may not have been optimum for this shot either.

Add to that the use of ViewNX 2.10 W as the final editor which may have messed up the number format in the above Maker Notes.

I'm wondering if some of his SD15 cons originated from 12" behind the viewfinder .

Pardon the negativity - I did enjoy the pics and admired his use of "low-end" lenses, in particular the 50mm f/2.8 macro EX DG with broken AF because I've just bought one with the same problem.
