Hi to all ex. and present Canon A40 users,

How is the performance of the auto mode of A40?
Just got my A40 recently but never really fiddle around with the auto mode much.
My gf is going malaysia next month, and i'm considering to let her take this cam along with her. And most likely she will use only auto mode.

I'm not expecting fantastic output from the auto mode though. Just want to know whether it'll be better than my old Olympus P&S (115mm zoom film version)?

On average my A40 Auto mode will overexposed by around 2/3 stop. It will be OK if you set the default compensation to -1/3 and keep a look out for those pictures that does not have overexposure.
