Think P&S's only suck at high ISO?

Think again. Here's a $600 Canon Powershot SX1 versus an Olympus
E-620 ($799, two zoom lens kit) at 200 ISO.

I guess the fact that a P&S user considers ISO 200 high speaks volumes.

Everything is relative! My P&S has settings for ISO 50, 100, 200, and
400. In that range, yes, 200 is high! My P&S is a Canon SD550 and at
ISO 200+, it performs very poorly. At ISO 50, it does great.

My DSLR, a Canon 50D, performs better at ISO 3200 than my SD550 does at
ISO 200.

Still, I use BOTH cameras. The P&S is great for those daytime candid
shots. I can carry it inconspicuously on my belt and go into places
they would never let me into with a DSLR slung over my shoulder.

Use the right tool for the job at hand!

I can't see the images right now, because pbase.com is down. But I think
you misread the subject. To be more precise: you missed the "only" part.

I've *got* to cut down on caffeine.

The problem is, you never know. Maybe you need *more* caffeine.

No, NO!! Caffeine SHARPENS the senses. You're probably not quaffing enough of
it!

As I just told Bowse before reading your reply! Great minds think alike. (Or
is it just great photographic minds?)

Obviously, Friday cannot come quick enough this weekl.

Great minds use standard quote-characters, and read a discussion before
adding their own thoughts.

Good idea. I'd hate to cut back, anyway. Back in a while, I'm heading to the
local supermarket for a case of Coke Black.

I can only thank god that you and Robert were here to talk me back into my
senses. Once I've completed my extensive expirements with Coke Black, I'll
let you know.
