Derby,
Optio S4 doesn't make that noise, at least my daughter's didn't when I 'borrowed' it.
How do you like the S5i? Any way to get raw pix from it? I took some shots with the S4 on a visit to Washington, DC. After lugging around a PZ-1p with a 28-70 zoom, it was a real treat. Fit neatly in my shirt pocket.
Can you help enable me??? :-)
Regards, Bob S.
Will do my best. I didn't have that much time to use the S5i but I can see the lovely Ricoh GR1s being used a lot less now as my walk around camera. Can't get RAW pix, but the JPGs are pretty artifact free. A fair bit of chroma fringing and the write speed isn't that speedy, but it is certainly fun to play with, and small enough to not to have an excuse to carry around all the time. Controls are pretty intuitive (didn't read the manual until I was on the plane back). Love the live histogram and the useful custom mode that I use to do AE compensation. Definitely feels wonderful and jewelike.
Focusing still seems to be OK, but I'm worried that the odd sound could be a symptom of a future untimely seizure (probably a day after the warranty lapses). I'm going to call CR Kennedy in the morning to see what can be done about it.
