Depending on algo used. You can try for yourself - decrease picture size few pixels with bicubic interpolation in photoshop and instantly you have blur all over it. It is because part of color data from every pixel goes to nearby pixels. So if they even slightly fix picture for very small lens distortion they can add blur to it. That could explain why 10mpix is more blurry than 14 on other camera - different filtering algo. Properly we should compare raw images, but we can't.Mousehttp://google.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-550157875151912393.post-56286885722225899752010-04-16T21:49:25.908+01:002010-04-16T21:49:25.908+01:00Joe, if you design that perfect compact superzoom ...Joe, if you design that perfect compact superzoom you describe above let me know I'll buy it in a heartbeat!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-550157875151912393.post-10602528779055482752010-04-15T14:53:56.885+01:002010-04-15T14:53:56.885+01:00Please spell and grammar check your posts.

"CMOS sensors are less expensive than the CCD sensors when it comes to manufacturing." Aha.<br /><br />2. HX5V and H55 are strikingly similar. With H55 being 100$ cheaper. H55 having CCD sensor and no fancy software features like HHT and HDR. So what amazing ISO levels new advanced back-illuminaty CMOS sensor provide in comparison to CCD? None. Both have 3200 ISO max.<br /><br />3. What is "G" lens from company that can use Zeiss, but not used in this model? Probably it is just Glass lens. Not plastic.<br /><br />So on hardware level HX5 is not outstanding at all. + limitations But software HHT/HDR features is quite interesting. + bugs.Mousehttp://google.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-550157875151912393.post-8338642439940501032010-04-15T05:39:21.372+01:002010-04-15T05:39:21.372+01:00As I was saying at dpreview, the low-light video o...As I was saying at dpreview, the low-light video on this cam is awful.
