There was a time not too long ago when the Canon Powershot G11 was all I needed on days when I didn’t feel like lugging the 5D Mark II along. Last evening was one of those days when I accompanied my daughter Jewel to the Anthony Abell College sports field for her track training. Just a few days ago, I field tested the Samsung Galaxy S III at the retired Seria sports arena while Jewel field tested her spiked shoes for the first time. The S III’s burst mode accurately locked focus the entire time I was able to keep the camera focused on her – very impressive. But that’s not nearly as impressive as what happened at the track yesterday – during a hurdle practice back-lit against the setting sun at 5.05 pm. The S III’s 20 frames burst mode kept up with the action consistently evident in the picture below. The G11 while good just wouldn’t have the speed to pull this off. In short, the S III is a great compact camera that also lets you make phone calls and share your photos online!

The original image out of the phone provided an excellent base to edit from. This image has been treated with a small dose of noise reduction along with increased contrast and saturation. PHOTO: Samsung Galaxy S III
