My Konica KD-500Z has just one setting, and that is not very high (I would guess 160), and I have not found that a problem outdoors. See www.foldingkayaks.org/gallery/tord I underexpose a step and a half, to prevent white areas from washing out. Then I reset the exposure range using GIMP 2.2, Photoshop 7.0, Photoshop Elements, or similar, using the levels function (not autolevels, please). My Olympus C-8080WZ is much trickier to get a good result from, and its colours are not as true, but indoors it is a much more capable camera, and at night as well. So for daylight photography, even at sunset a single speed is OK and usually produces much less noise than a camera with 25-400 range. But at low level, with noise reduction on the C-8080 is amazing!
