Hi Dave, don't expect too much from a 1/2.3 " sensor. If you would not usually enlarge the photos taken from HS10 to larger than 8R, there is no big deal even you cannot see the wordings on the can.
I am thinking seriously about buying the HS10 but to me all these samples are seriously grainy and far less sharp then I would have expected. To me the writing on the can should be easy to read. It is not.
Thank you for posting these sample photo's. There are very few to be found elsewhere. Please contact me if you would to discuss your opinion. Dave
