First P&S that may "may" not be a piece of crap?

larger sensor.

IMHO - this post is B.S. I have a Kodak P850 - a P&S with long zoom which
I do not consider "a piece of crap". I do quite well with it thank you.

And knowing Panasonics noise leading

Noise leading because they don't heap on the NR at 100 ISO like nearly
every other camera that doesn't do raw, I frigging HATE that in P&Ss, it
renders their images completely useless.

I generally shoot RAW with my P850.

While the noise level in my Canon A720 is a bit higher than I'd like, I
wouldn't go so far as to say the images are completely useless.

I've done some fairly severe cropping on the images of this 8meg sensor and
produced 11 X 14 pics that rival or surpass shots taken with my old Canon A2
using fine grain films.

To me, that's quite nice, not useless...

Take Care,

not wait in line for this one. But this guy just doesnt know how to
use a camera to get its full potential.

Panasonic has the most efficient sensor tech, possibly. I have not found a
single camera sensor that collects more photons per unit of area with the
same exposure as my FZ50. Their JPEG noise reduction, however, is
horrible, and does more harm than good in many cases.

I don't think it's a case of not a lot of NR; it's a case of a *lot* of
poor NR, which doesn't do what it is intended to do.

Hello, Ray:

As a fellow P850 owner, I echo your praise of this fine device.

Regarding "Rich," please be advised that he's merely a lousy, Canadian
troll. He enjoys sniping at P&S digicams, Kodak, China and whatever else
may happen to pop into his narrow "mind," at any given moment.


Cordially,
John Turco

Well, I'd add Canon is a prime, or perhaps primary target, and has
nothing to do with being Canadian or not! :-).

You, like all the other resident-trolls in this newsgroup, have obviously
mistaken yourself for someone that deserves to have their life enriched for
free.
