Found this site that compares the sensors in cameras. Just made a comparison
that you can find here of my last 3 compact cameras (iPhone 4S, Canon 220 HS and Canon Powershot S95. When you see that comparison, you understand why the iPhone 4S performs quite poorly in lowlight situations.

Snapsort
Photography, TechSnapsort is a site I have just discovered. Since I had a crash last week, my Canon S95 is damaged beyond repair. In the same week, the Samsung EX2F has been announced and from the specs, seems like an incredible camera. The problem is that I need a carry-around camera particularly for low-light situations where the iPhone 4S camera just does not perform very well. So I was looking for something that was cheaper and would serve as a backup camera after I get the EX2F when it’s available (or the LX6/LX7?). After digging around amazon and dpreview, I saw the great reviews for the IXUS 220 (or the Canon PowerShot ELPH 300 H for North American readers) I found the snapsort site and put in some comparisons.
Here is the comparison between the Canon IXUS 220 IS versus the Powershot S95
Surprising? 😉
Time to get that 220 IS before the weekend!
Helsinki City Photos – Febuary 2012
Finland, Helsinki, Photography
Yeah, it is summer but I was doing some photo maintenance and thought those photos of Helsinki would be interesting to post. It’s such a contrast to the current feel of the city. Will be taking out my camera tomorrow.
