Al, the pix with your old cam (was a Nikon, if I'm not wrong) looked kinda better :confused:

I'm sure the new cam has better MP and more features, maybe you need to exercise more :D

It's kind of a mixed bag... the smaller camera is definitely sharper and has more megapixels, but I think the metering is much less sophisticated.

Is it the darkness of the photos that's throwing you, or something else?

The pix are crystal clear. Maybe you're standing on the wrong side. Try shooting from sun behind instead of from side or front. Maybe you get better results.

The sun was shining on the driver's side front corner...

Direct sun shot... is that better than the rest?

Yep, far better. BTW, saw the cam at the store the other day, it's really very small :)

Small was a big priority with this camera. I hated carrying around my Nikon CP950. Totally different characters... the Nikon definitely balanced out the light much better.

I miss the swiveling body every single time I use the S40. :cry:

Al,

Are you gonna clear the amber reflector on the front fender?
