For those of you with digital point-and shoots, how high an ISO setting do you typically use? I've heard that the P&S cameras aren't as usable at high sensitivities as the digital SLRs. On our last long trip (Silver Islet to Rossport on Lake Superior) my wife and I used three cameras: my Nikon D70 for onshore use, my Nikonos V loaded with Sensia 100 slide film for on-water use, and my wife's Pentax IQ 105WR loaded with an ISO 400 negative film for general use. I scanned the slides and negatives to put together with the digital pictures for a digital slide show we're giving at REI Bloomington in the Twin Cities next Monday. It certainly was interesting, not to say frustrating, trying to get the same color balance out of those three very different sources. It also gave me a better appreciation for my D70, whose photos became the standard to which I attempted to match the other photos. The ISO 400 negative film was worst, both for color-matching and for grain. Now my wife wants a digital camera. I must say that the Optio WP looks like it might be a good choice for a kayaker.
