Anybody else come across this? Cheers Stuart A - for consideration in this group, broadly cameras should look like an SLR, not have interchangeable lenses, and have full manual control of aperture, shutter speed, and focus. I suspect you camera broadly meets these criteria. David |

Anybody else come across this? Haven't noticed myself. I got an S5500 a few months ago and am delighted with it. I moved from a three year old low spec digital compact, so couldn't comment on the difference between that and the S301. Have you tried setting the sharpness to hard? John |

[] Thanks for the input - no, I havnt yet. I am basically pleased with the camera, esp outside shots, but just surprised that I have to take a lot of inside shots to make sure I get a couple of good ones. stuart Any chance you are getting camera shake? A rule of thumb is that the shutter should be faster than 1/focal-length, so with the maximum 370mm focal length you would need a shutter speed faster than 1/370s, i.e. 1/500s or 1/1000s. Indoors this might need a lot of light, or use a tripod. Even at the widest angle (37mm), you want shutter speeds of 1/50s or faster. (The reason I love image stabilisation is that it multiplies these times by about 10, so a 370mm lens only needs a shutter speed of 1/37s. Makes the camera more adaptable to lower light conditions).

Anybody else come across this? Cheers Stuart I have just sold the following kit because I had become disillusioned with the sharpness of digital files over film. Canon EOS 10D, Canon EOS 20D Canon 28 to 135 IS, Canon 70 to 300 IS and a Canon 17 to40 L Just so that I had something I got a S5500 and have been totally impressed with the quality of the pictures taken, both sharpness and exposure are far better than what I had got with either Canon body. |
