Think a 4MB card will be more than sufficient then. The question is whether go with the Sandisk or Sandisk Ultra II? BigMike1 wrote: > snapshot09 wrote: > > 2. Any recommended memory card size? Not sure I like the higher numbers as if you ever lost or damage that one card, you lose everything.

The sd940 is Canon's tiny pocket camera. I had the sd780, it's predecessor, and I was going to say it didn't take the best photos based on that - *but* I just looked it up and it appears the sd940's photo quality is better than the 780's. Hmm. The s90's pretty consistently correctly exposes the people in the picture at the expensive of blowing out the brighter parts of the picture. In the example you mentioned, I...

I would like a light, but sturdy travel tripod for my s90 for sunrise/sunset shots. Thanks in advance for any feedback. Light and sturdy is nice but with the S90 on it, make sure there's a hook underneath to hang a bag, purse, or something, to...

That's because I'm an absolute beginner in terms of replicating DOF. I never claimed being a pro did I? I've never even owned a DSLR. The plugin is only limited by your imagination / DOF know-how. As I said, it's just to give a rough idea. BigMike1 wrote: > The photo above does NOT look natural. Sorry to disappoint you.

Just to add: I'm suprised you don't want to use a DSLR for macro is you have the gear already - the extra depth of field is fun on the compacts but an angle finder is probably near as good as a swivel screen. And manual focusing is very hard on the G11 - much easier to do with a DSLR and macro lens. Some of the least worse of my photos: http://www.flickr.com/photos/susans/

I've bought several from them over the years and they've worked great but never paid attention to the script........hmmmm ....*POWWER* ? Even the OEM batteries from Canon are made in China.....

Yes Canon does and they do it very well. We have owned 6 Canon P&S cameras and all have had firmware upgades. This is the site for Canon software and firmware downloads for the S90. Do you own a Canon P&S you are concerned about?

The camera's JPEG engines still apply a little NR, but turning NR and sharpening off makes a big difference. You can then apply just the amount of NR and sharpening you want, to various parts of the image. Especially if you're shooting at a higher ISO (maybe 400 for a G7, 9, or 10) that selective application of NR and...
