>>103127 today, i paid for my new 40D, which is to be shipped tomorrow. In the meantime, i took my GFs p&s to a party. The light was bad, the room huge, fast movements on dance and party games, lots of people wanted their pictures taken. It was a catastrophe. Anything my trusty EOS350D could have shrugged off, this piece of crap choked on. ISO Noise over 9000. Exposure times far beyond bad. Flash reload time ~5 seconds, during which this fucking cigarette box with a lens didnt let you do anything, not even zoom out. Flash weaker than a lit match. And it died after 50 pix with / without flash. There are some things where you definitely need F/2.8 all the way, ISO 400 that works, flash reload as fast as you can press the shutter, a flash that can be directed, diffused and bounced, on/off/standby times of .2 seconds for "that" snapshot. P&S sucks big time, and in some situations you cannot easily replace crappy equipment with skill.
TL;DR annoyed because my new toy isnt there yet.
