I found that the automatic white balance system produced inconsistent colour reproduction even in good light. Take a look at the brown Autumn leaves in this sunlit shot.




These are the same leaves shot in isolation. The colour has confused the white balance system into adding a nasty blue cast to the image, robbing the leaves of their red colour.




I try to take this same shot with many different cameras, so you can get an accurate idea of the level of detail recorded. See the full-res crop below.




This is a full-resolution crop of the above image, and shows the excellent level of detail captured by the S7c’s 7.1MP sensor. The anti-bird netting on the cathedral stonework is clearly visible.




The S7c has a slightly weak flash, with a range of just 2.6m at wide angle and 50 ISO. Coverage is good though, and recharge time is nice and quick.
