Usually you grab a larger image than what you really want and then crop it in the computer. The part of the image that I actually use is frequently half or less of what I shot. The vast expanse of the outdoors also leads to quite a bit of cropping. With the 105 - 115 mm max focal length of most compact cameras it is sometimes hard to get close enough to what you are shooting to fill the viewfinder. That being said, I use a Canon S30 with Canon housing and have no complaints with the image quality even after cropping. This is a 3.2 MP camera. Images of my backcountry Yellowstone trip on Shoshone Lake are at http://www.siue.edu/~rwashbu/Page.html These were all taken with the camera. *************************************************************************** PaddleWise Paddling Mailing List - Any opinions or suggestions expressed here are solely those of the writer(s).
