`Paul on New Canon S90 - Sample images iii - Windsurfers

`Paul on New Canon S90 - Sample images iii - Windsurfers

Anina on New Canon S90 - Sample images iii - Windsurfers

Michael on New Canon S90 - Sample images iii - Windsurfers

Mirjam on New Canon S90 - Sample images iii - Windsurfers
I like the top image.

Michael Rawluk on New Canon S90 - Sample images iii - Windsurfers
It must be a challenge for them to avoid getting tangled as they race around.

grouser on New Canon S90 - Sample images iii - Windsurfers
This is all good stuff Rob. I'd say the compact holds up pretty well on this one and I actually prefer the ...

MrsAmber on New Canon S90 - Sample images iii - Windsurfers
It's the top one for me too. A really interesting shot too. Glad to see that both cameras have their ...

Nicholas on New Canon S90 - Sample images iii - Windsurfers
The top image for me. Even the colours are more vibrant but that could be a trick on my untrained eyes.

Linerberry on New Canon S90 - Sample images iii - Windsurfers
Yeah you just cant beat that depth that is so obvious in the top image! Its great having this comparison. Thanks for ...

Daniel on New Canon S90 - Sample images ii - 40D Comparison
For me it's the bottom which is clearer in every respect, sharper and colours are more vivid. I'm inclided to ...

Michael Rawluk on New Canon S90 - Sample images ii - 40D Comparison
The DoF in the top makes it the winner. Hard to compare when they are so different.

Michael on New Canon S90 - Sample images ii - 40D Comparison
The top one Rob, as already mentioned it's the shallow DOF that does the work here. But both are very acceptable.

Stephen Phillips on New Canon S90 - Sample images ii - 40D Comparison
Mmm... A budding AM3 lab technician specialist emerging? Nice work, dobbino.

Kiwisa on New Canon S90 - Sample images ii - 40D Comparison
I definitely like the colour and sharpness in the bottom one. Can even see a little insect on the far right flower.

MARIANA on New Canon S90 - Sample images ii - 40D Comparison
ah, this is beautiful ;)

jamesy on New Canon S90 - Sample images ii - 40D Comparison
Well Rob in my expert (LOL) opinion I like the bottom one best. I think the contrast is better and the image seems a ...

Antoine on New Canon S90 - Sample images ii - 40D Comparison
Beautiful capture. The colors are beautiful. Have a good day. Antoine.

Cricket-TammyWarren on New Canon S90 - Sample images ii - 40D Comparison
I like the softness of the first and the color of the second.

Lorraine on New Canon S90 - Sample images ii - 40D Comparison
STUNNING duo, but I have to say Rob that the bottom one takes my breath away...I can touch it, wow

dj.tigersprout on New Canon S90 - Sample images ii - 40D Comparison

dj.tigersprout on New Canon S90 - Sample images i - Glad
GORGEOUS Rob!!! yes -- looking forward to reading your review!! i too would be in need of a smaller camera -- for the ...

grouser on New Canon S90 - Sample images ii - 40D Comparison
The top one. I would guess the slightly softer colour is more true to life, and could in any case be strengthened by ...

MrsAmber on New Canon S90 - Sample images ii - 40D Comparison
I agree with 'all of the above'. We must find out which is which! I'd be pleased with either myself, by ...

Anina on New Canon S90 - Sample images ii - 40D Comparison
WOW! Difficult one! I have to agree with what was already said. I like the bottom one for colour and the top for dof. ...

Nicholas on New Canon S90 - Sample images ii - 40D Comparison
top one for me, the depth of field does it. But like Linerberry said, the colours of the bottom version is better. But ...

Veronique on New Canon S90 - Sample images ii - 40D Comparison
the top one for the DOF that makes the flower pop out the picture

Linerberry on New Canon S90 - Sample images ii - 40D Comparison
Now you have me bamboozled!!! I like the bottom one for the richness of colour and the top one for the depth of ...

Andrew Gould on New Canon S90 - Sample images i - Glad
This is a beautiful shot, Rob, and coincidentally, I was wondering if the S90 is slimmer than my G10, as I was thinking ...

Anina on New Canon S90 - Sample images i - Glad
Very impressive! Lighting is spot on. Great detail. I also agree with Liners' comment. My motto has always been: ...

MrsAmber on New Canon S90 - Sample images i - Glad
Colours look nice and rich. Echo dear Linerberry's comments too!

Nicholas on New Canon S90 - Sample images i - Glad
Nice, but I have tried using compacts for macro and the biggest problem after a while is lighting. Works well for ...
