Pros: Perfect size, Good colors, Compression RAW and JPG fantastic, well-built, with a few excellent optical aberrations. excellent battery life

Cons: The flash tends to "whiten" on several occasions, zoom a little 'slow to react.

Opinion: Camera of the most balanced and comprehensive I've ever had. I struggle to find real defects. I purchased in March of 2011 and is still here to serve me very well. Even today I feel that 10 MPs are sufficient and move ahead. Beautiful, professional aesthetics, well built with a metal body, all the major controls are at the right place and unlike the later models this also has the rotating display and adjustable and excellent definition. I struggle to understand why they left. images in JPG come out clean and polished between 80 and 200 ISO. Rich in fine detail and warm, natural colors. Between 200 and 640 ISO images are still good then obviously going beyond all slopes, though always maintaining a solid overall quality and the feeling "photo". The only major drawback is the flash tends to overexpose by 1.5-2 mt. Although you can of course adjust the intensity just find it manageable results in Januaryeral. Nothing serious, mind you, the photos remain guardabilissime ... but the problem in my opinion is. Amazing how the files in jpg (that are perfect with no visible artifacts to 100%) weigh on average just 2.5 megabytes. Canon technicians have done an extraordinary job in this regard. excellent battery: on average never go down below 300 shots with normal use, but I assure you that I have arrived even slightly more than 400. This is one that you can really define a true Bridge. In 5 years, it was not even in the least touched on the idea of ??selling it. Compatible with all EOS SLR and accessories dedicated to fast phenomena and well optimized. Absolutely promoted.

Pros: Manual controls immediate and complete, high quality raw files at 80 and 100 ISO, optical good quality stabilized. viewer defined and articulated that allows easy shots. Good speed of focus and exposure accurate, practical down lens cover. made of natural color typical CCD.

Cons: CCD sensor 1 / 1.7 "a little thick: 10 megapixels for a sensor so small are so many but this is the current trend of the market. In the past possessed the Canon G3, obviously much less advanced in terms of functionality but with a sensor 4 megapixels in my optimal for a compact camera.

Opinion: stylish compact camera, easy to use but still requires a good knowledge of photographic technique to offer the best. when used accurately and especially to 80 to 100 ISO in Raw with the exact settings of WB pulls out color and image quality remarkable. E 'with a very functional well studied by canon, in fact it is a model which is evolving and offers compatibility with typical accessories SLR, very good time on and off and good zoom speed. We must do, however, focus on some limited exposure latitude, high yield natural and uniform color typical of CCDs, allows you to make quality prints. ultimately a compact camera, complete and well-built.

Pros: Manageability, ease of use, versatile in every field of use. RnAdatta to those seeking a total (or almost) control of shooting settings. Definitely better than many entry Reflex level.rnE 'a compact camera that also snaps in RAW format. You can fit all 58mm filters. You can use the external flash of a reflex.rnLa recommend it to those who want to switch from a compact to a true SLR.

Cons: Limited if you come from a Canon 50D. The definition is poor if you shoot under 1/25 sec. rnBisogna work a lot in PP to make the shot acceptable. mI shutter speed will be too restricted.

Opinion: I purchased this compact in June of 2011, replacing my Canon 50D (too heavy and too "complex" for the needs familiari.rnRimango pleasantly impressed by its ease of use and easy handling in all circostanza.rnLa you can safely use for simple clicks with family or for paesaggi.rnPersonalmente I would recommend it to anyone looking for a certain versatility and those who want to explore the world without spending a fortune reflex. Besides, with some accessory becomes (almost) perfetta.rnIo, for example, I added: rnAdattatore for filters, and Tele. External flash I inherited from reflex.rn
