These, by the way, are 100% crops - that's zoomed in on the pixel level. ISO 100 with flash.  HOSTED PHOTO please log in to view hosted photos in full size.

HOSTED PHOTO please log in to view hosted photos in full size. These were frames 1 and 2. So far my impressions - I'd really prefer to be able to set HD video without having to go into 16:9 aspect ratio for my stills. It feels enough like the SX10 that there's not going to be much learning curve, but I'm sure glad the card isn't inside the battery compartment any more. Jon

Would I have taken the 1D3 and 70-200 2.8 IS? I don't think so. This was at ISO 1600, 21 mm, f/4 and 1/15 sec. I'm still getting used to the AF area - should have used the smaller AF zone on it so I got focus on Jimmy instead of the set.  HOSTED PHOTO please log in to view hosted photos in full size. And a 100% crop of the reprocessed RAW (Luminance NR and sharpening were all I applied; I could have probably played around with it more and done a bit better)  HOSTED PHOTO please log in to view hosted photos in full size. No, it's not as good as a contemporary DSLR can do, but it's at least as good as my 2003 D60 could at its max. ISO; Canon maxed ISO on that at 1000. And the IS did quite well, considering I was at least 3 stops below the "safe" limit for an unstabilized lens there. Jon

Since the SX10 hasn't got RAW, there's no post-processing applied. Half that softness is the noise, I think. The other half is the large area these guys use for AF sensing. I'm spoiled by the DSLRs.

How's that working? "Raw" is not an acronym, abbreviation, nor a proper noun; thus, it should not be in capital letters.

Setting the camera to shoot HD video and to shoot RAW stills are mutually exclusive - I'll probably only do HD for stuff I really want to save because of that. Jon

Thinking about this as a glove-box camera for my car. "Raw" is not an acronym, abbreviation, nor a proper noun; thus, it should not be in capital letters.

RAW was one reason I went for the SX1. Jon
