Did anybody forget that there's a 2 megapixel difference there also?
I like the 10x, but theres no hotshoe!
Movies are for movie cameras, and the S1 is limited by the length,
lighting, sound, and storage.
The problem is that with digtal cameras becoming so much more
popular these days, the manufacturers are luring all type of people
into the arena....many of them not really photagraphers, or even
aspiring photograhers. Features such as video and ultra compact
size is getting put before actual image quality.
When you see a poster who is obviously swayed one way or the other
by these features alone, you have to accept the fact that they not
and will not buy a camera with still image quality as their
critical decission making factor.
I find it a bit annoying, as this is reason I stumbled on this
forum, and have frequented it for so long. I have finally accepted
the fact that this particular forum has changed, and that many of
the new posters are techies, who are more sold on gadgets and
features than ultimate image. The funny thing is that I'm a young
male, who also loves gadgets, but will not compromise still image
quality for 640X480 video, IS, AA betteries,a cool colour, or
stealth like size.
Don't get me wrong.....I think those are all really great features,
but image quality as a still camera will be numero uno, and any of
the other bells & whistles will simply be cherrys on top.
