Canon Powershot 130X IS- first images

[Nathaniel]

I took the opportunity of testing the Canon Powershot 130X IS in church today at the installation of the new Dean of St.Asaph Cathedral. No photography is allowed BUT with my new compact I took these shots from where I sat,unobrusively- no one saw me take these shots of the Bishop of St.Asaph giving his sermon. I did not use flash at all.

(i) Bishop's sermon

(ii) Close up of the Bishop

Nathaniel thank you very much for posting these, the camera seems to have handled what I assume to be low light conditions very well.

Thanks Di & Stephen! Yes, I bought this compact for just such surreptious photography mainly. I carried the camera in my jacket pocket into the cathedral.
Still it is early days for me with a compact. I still prefer the DSLR any day.
