What report was this? I just got the S1 IS and am strongly considering returning it (we've been very spoiled by the 10D over the years) and getting something different.
I'm looking for something in the 3+ MP range w/ a good optical zoom, low shutter lag and a good movie mode. The only other camera that seems to fit this bill that has IS is the new 8MP Konica Minolta, but at > $1000 street, it's way more than we want to spend on a "Backup" camera. Unfortunately, most reviews don't compare shutter lag with as technical approach. Canon's Lag + blackout + EVF make it very hard to use to actually take pictures. I'm thinking that it it might be better to ask for our good old Nikon 990 back. -/\/ As Willem-Jan Markerink once said, > A report on the new all-in-one Canon digicam S1 reminded me once more > that even the oldest generation pro-digicam does better than the > latest generation consumer-digicam, on the aspect of shutter- > lag....the S1 is at nearly 1s. > Have seen similar negative reports on D30/60 I believe. > Anyone ever kept track of this particular data, down to the oldest > models? > (frightening few sites who list all models since 1994 btw) > (try finding the very small CCD-size of the DCS5c for example) * **** ******* *********************************************************** * For list instructions, including unsubscribe, see: * http://www.a1.nl/phomepag/markerink/eos_list.htm ***********************************************************
