The S90 is coming up on a year old now, have there been any rumblings about a replacement model?

The one killer feature of Samsungs is the fact that they can charge by USB, I've never really been impressed by their pictures though. That said I was reading reviews of the EX1 and why are camera reviewers so clueless about what people want to see? 3 pages of daytime city shots and 100% ISO crop comparisons and not a single picture taken indoors in dim lighting.

One thing I've always wondered is why cameras don't have weaker flash settings, I'm assuming it's because the bulbs don't work that way but there's pretty much no picture taken in a bar in the last 5 years that isn't completely blown out. The camera knows the people are 4 feet away, why provide the same light as a 15 foot shot?

Whoever makes those 10MP CMOS sensors must be really happy with the trends of late.

I'll probably end up picking up an S95, I was briefly entertaining thoughts of a LX5 or NEX but they're not really pocketable and I'd rather save my money towards a proper SLR.azathosk posted:That will be about $555 for you dollar-people.  v

Has anyone ever had a bad experience with an off-brand battery? Because the idea of having a camera that's not just out of juice but actually busted while I'm on a trip freaks me out.

I got my S95 last week, I'm pretty impressed so far. One thing I've noticed is that a lot of indoor shots seem to have a yellowish cast to them, is this from not setting the white balance?

Buying a shipping container of outdated cell phone camera sensors and charging hipsters $150 for "lo fi" cameras is a pretty smart business model though.

Does anyone know of any good guides or books for learning the basics of how to get the most out of a manual digital camera? I love my S95 but it seems like the really great shots I get are just a coincidence that I managed to get exposure/ISO right. My usual techniques of "screw with it until you learn it" aren't quite enough for a camera with this many controls. Most of the stuff I've seen is either all about high-end film/DSLR stuff or about how to fix things in Photoshop.

Both the S90 and the S95 were announced in the middle of August, has there been any rumors about a new model?

Lowness 72 posted:Canonrumors is saying an S100 (though likely to be renamed) will be released soon. Anyone have any details? No but the S90 and S95 were both announced in mid-August so it seems likely. I use this case because it's durable as hell and I can strap it onto my bag [plus it was free]. It's not really pocketable though, I usually just carry my camera "bare". qirex fucked around with this message at 18:12 on Aug 19, 2011 |

This is the part that sticks out the most to me: "can shoot nonstop at 2.3 fps in other modes". I'm not going to upgrade from my S95 but faster performance would definitely help. I'm also assuming the "200 shots per charge" does not include using the GPS.

Canuckistan posted:For a family point and shooter should I go with a SX220 or a ELPH 310? There's not much info on the 310 out there so that's making it hard for me to decide but from what I can tell the features, other than the increased zoom of the SX220, are about the same. I'm getting a camera for my sister and brother-in-law and I'm trying to decide between these two as well. My concern is more around durability, would the long zoom on the SX220 make it more fragile? Plus the 310 seems to be having Thailand-related supply issues.

Canuckistan posted:I ended up going for a ELPH 300 instead of the 310. It was cheaper and has mostly the same features if you don't care about the 8x vs 5x zoom. $50 cheaper and in stock? I think we have a winner.

I was under the impression that all development on consumer camcorders was basically over and now they just take one of their camera sensor/lens packages from a still camera and put it in a different body.

You can set up auto-loading in Picasa when you put the SD card in, of course I'm not a huge fan of Picasa's organizational model but that's one step covered at least.

Canon announced the S-110 which as far as I can tell is exactly the S100 with Wifi and a touchscreen. The lens and sensor are identical. It's kind of bananas how many of these high-end compacts are coming out.

I was planning on upgrading my camera this fall but I may wait until either the RX100 gets wifi or the S-series Canon gets a better sensor/lens.

Hypnolobster posted:Well hell, I bought my RX100 figuring that more high end P&S on the same level as the RX100 would take a good long time. The RX100 is still way ahead in the sensor size department even if some of the other ones have faster lenses.

Those Canons are wide-angle, I think you'd want something with better zoom for something like that.

Costello Jello posted:If I didn't have a Ricoh GR, I'd be all over that. Definitely worth an extra 100 dollars for a tilt-screen and more sensitive sensor, in my opinion. Yeah, my S95 is getting long in the tooth and while I was considering a ILC I know I wouldn't be as happy if I couldn't cram it into my poscket.

Has anyone used the iOS wifi transfer apps on newer Canons or Sonys? I assume they're miserable but I'd like to know how miserable.

You can get a Nex 3 with a lenz@! for like $300 on Amazon now so that's not too far off. I think smartphone subsidies have broken American's brains as far as the value they expect to get out of electronic devices.

So after waiting forever I broke down and bought a RX100 MII a few weeks ago and now: http://www.sonyalpharumors.com/sr5-rx100miii-priced-at-899-canadiad-us-dollars-full-specs-leaked/ If it's $899 CAD it'll probably be the same or maybe $850 in the US, I'm almost glad it's so pricey, it takes a bit of the sting off. The simple fact is that I bought it then because I have a big trip coming up at the end of June and I wanted to get to grips with the camera before I left so this wouldn't have mattered anyway. That said, 2.8 at full zoom is like drat.

The RX100 on auto will take generally better pictures than a Canon S1XX but it's bigger, heavier and the UI isn't as good as Canon and some of the features of the RX100 like the multi-exposure to reduce noise can make it feel less responsive. I just got back from a big vacation and I'm pretty drat happy with some of the pictures I got with my RX100M2, although after overexposing a few I thought "it would be great if this had a viewfinder," this is how the descent into camera gear madness begins, isn't it? My dream RX100M4 would have the viewfinder but a touchscreen instead of it being articulated, touch focus on my camera phone has spoiled me to that. The wifi was really nice because I could send pictures straight to my phone and you can set it to only copy a 2MP version for Facebook/Twitter posting and the like. I'll post a few of my favorites when I'm done working on them.

I have a gorillapod and one serious problem with it is that pressing the shutter button induces vibration that can ruin long exposures so you either need to use the timer or a remote release.

I definitely liked the UI better on the Canons I had before my RX100 but yeah that battery life is pretty miserable. It's exacerbated to me by the fact that Canon still refuses to support USB charging, it was really nice to be able to sit down on a train or at lunch and use my external USB battery to top it up.

spog posted:Sony's 'Superior iAuto' is a bit weird, isn't it? If you're talking about the rx100 that's the auto-ISO noise reduction mode, you can turn it off in the ISO settings. Going to burst mode also turns it off. That said I still have no good idea why there's "intelligent auto" and iA+ as different settings.

If you can get something from the S series they're a little bigger but take MUCH better pictures.The SD110 is like $80 more than the 350 on amazon.

I love having the wifi on my MkII since I can get photos onto my phone or iPad and post them online while I'm taking a break, it's nicer than having the nightly photo dump and I don't travel with a laptop. Wondering if the MkIV is coming soon, the III is just about a year old.
