I've been thinking about getting another P&S. My Optio S5i is
great, but not so great in low light. I'd like to carry one around
for times when I don't want to risk the *istDS.
I've been looking at the Casio EX-S500, the Fujifilm F10, and the
Oly Stylus 800, all of which go to ISO1600. Has anyone heard any
rumours about the newer Optios going high-speed as well? And how
does ISO1600 on these tiny sensors look like?
From all I've heard, the best small sensor camera for low light-
reasonable noise at present is the Fuji F10 ... I see there's an F11
model out now too. I believe there are test images available on
DPReview.com for the F10 at least.
(I've got my eye on the Ricoh Caplio GR Digital ... I liked the GR1 a
lot, this looks to be a similar no-nonsense compact with a good prime
lens, but I suspect its low light performance is limited like most
cameras in the class.)
