Canon compacts are my everyday, carry with me cameras.

My favorites are the Powershot S100 and the Powershot 300HS. Both produce wonderful images. But sometimes, the poor handling of skies, dynamic range, rears its ugly head, as it does on my SX 260 HS and EOS-M. No, reducing exposure isn't the solution. Those sensors just have poor dynamic range and can't handle highlights well, as silly as that may seem.

What are your experiences and recommendations. I'd even consider the near-APS-C compacts, but not if the sensor can't capture an everyday, normally lit, not even that bright scene.

M200 and M50 have amazing DR.

Thanks.

Powershot S100
