We will see what effect all this has on my photos. I am also considering buying the WC-DC52 wide angle converter. Based on Ken Rockwell’s recommendations, I am trying some new settings on my A570IS:

Rather, I was just going to start using the new camera and noting differences. That said, I would be quite curious about how they compare in terms of noise at ISO settings above 200. Tristan,
