You'd think the different camera approach would work, but companies are afraid of creating a camera that sacrifices high iso performance for some other feature and then have the reviews clobber them for not having high iso performance.
I would really like high iso performance because sometimes I am trying to take shots at night. However, I find that I am far more likely to actually take the smaller MSC than the DSLR, so I deal with those limitations. It's not a problem, except that I can get a bit of a knee jerk reaction because I run into enough folks who just can't understand how I can have a camera that can't take good shots above iso 1600. Not every photo group is as sensible as the PDML ;-) On Tue, Sep 13, 2011 at 11:58 AM, Dario Bonazza <[email protected]> wrote: > Steven Desjardins wrote: > >> This is a big problem facing manufacturers.
