Wonderful photos, Bill. I really like "roadwalk".
Thanks Scott. It's pretty dead center as far as composition goes, but I tend
to shoot things that way.
Care to share your opinion of the 750? I'd certainly be interested.
I quite like the little thing.
I shot some tiffs with it, and they take a while to send to card, but jpegs
are fast enough.
It's got all the bad things that go along with the breed, the viewfinder is
kinda sucky, but the LCD works well enough, and it is pretty slow to take a
picture once the button is pushed, but all digital P&S cameras share this
trait
. It's small without being too tiny. The 5mp Optio I was looking at was one
of the fits in an Altoids tin cameras, and I decided it was too small, I
figured I would lose it for sure.
The sensor is a wee bit noisy, but not objectionably so. I've seen much
worse. I leave the iso set to auto adjust, so I am getting the occassional
really noisy picture from it, but I figure that is in conditions that I
would have to increase the ISO anyway.
The mode button is a bit stiff to move, which is a good thing, my old Canon
was so easy to turn that you had to be continually checking the mode dial to
ensure you were shooting what you wanted to shoot.
It has a cool little light meter in manual, and is pretty easy to use
manually. The rocker switch adjusts both aperture and shutter speed, and it
gives a clipping warning for both highlights and shadows on the preview if
you so desire.
Overall, I'm happy with it. I wish it would take an external flash, and
being able to put lens filters on would also be nice, but I expect the
camera would get even larger (like the Canon G series), which would not be
so nice.
It's a good compromise camera.
