New Canon SX30 Superzoom

[Words]

Canny, I've not checked out whether it takes a teleconverter but will post some pix later where I compare shots from the FZ-45 with similar shots from the 40D.

For those interested I've posted a brief blog about the FZ-45.

My general impression is that the default in-camera processing is pretty harsh and I will be playing around with the settings to try to reduce the amount of in-camera processing it does. The jpg output is fine for small prints and web postings, but pretty dire if you want to crop an image. The raw output is quite a bit cleaner, but as with all things you get pretty much what you pay for. The camera is nice to use, but if you've been spoiled by the quality of a dslr then I don't think you can ever really go back.
