SABMILLER, the world's second-largest brewer, said on Tuesday that China Resources Snow Breweries (CR Snow), its joint venture with the China Resources Enterprise conglomerate, had agreed to buy the brewery business of Chinese beer maker Kingway for $864m.
The deal will bolster CR Snow's market position in the booming Guangdong region and add scale and market presence in the Sichuan, Shaanxi and Tianjin municipalities.
SABMiller, the maker of Miller Lite, Grolsch and Peroni Nastro Azzurro, continues to eye opportunities in emerging markets such as Asia, Africa and Latin America to offset the effects of declines in Europe, where tough economic conditions prevail.
"The acquisition of Kingway gives us greater access to high growth and attractive regional markets in China, thereby enhancing CR Snow's competitive position," SABMiller Asia Pacific MD Ari Mervis said.
London-based Jefferies International analyst Dirk van Vlaanderen said the deal added to an already strong leadership position in the Chinese beer market.
"At the high level, we like the strategic rationale of what the Kingway deal represents. It would add about 2% to market share from the current position of about 23%. It also helps that this ongoing trend of industry consolidation in China is continuing, and longer term that will support a better pricing environment. On a more local level, the deal is very compelling because it gives China Resources Snow much needed critical mass in the very attractive, very high growth Guangdong province," he said.
CR Snow will acquire Kingway's production and sales business, including seven breweries. The transaction price of the deal included a small portion of loans and debt, the firms said.
"Looking at the acquisition price on a per hectolit re basis, you come to about $60 per hectolitre — that's what the deal's costing them and that's pretty much in line with the median in recent transactions in China ," Mr van Vlaanderen said.
"They get the Kingway brand, an established route to market, a trained workforce from day one, all of that together makes a lot of sense as to why they would have chosen to pay a premium rather than build a new brewery."
SABMiller said the deal would add 14.5-million hectolitres of beer production capacity.
The company beat Beijing Yanjing, China 's fourth-largest domestic brewer, and Anheuser-Busch InBev, the world's largest brewer, for Kingway, which announced plans to sell in January last year because of rising labour and raw material costs, fierce competition and slowing sales.
"Kingway has been a business that hasn't done well operationally. I think the idea is to apply the best practice of SABMiller and China Resources Snow and really drive step change in profitably like they did with Lion Nathan," Mr van Vlaanderen said.

Did you miss us? As I have said numerous time this project is always a work in progress. I've had this photo processed for awhile but just haven't gotten around to publishing it. I would like to note that this is the first 77counties photo to actually feature a human in it. Your's truly is literally riding a fence in Adair County. I'm not sure who built this fence gate but I can't help but think they have a sense of humor. I would also like to think that by building a fence like this, they don't mind wandering travelers like myself stopping to jump on for a photo op. If they do mind, then I apologize in advance. At the same time I want to say thanks for giving us some laughs this wonderful afternoon.
Roadside oddities are one of my favorite things in life. I'm not sure why I enjoy them so much. Maybe it's growing up around route 66 and the roadside Americana that is much a part of it. Regardless, anytime I see something like this I am fascinated and have to take a closer look. So you can imagine my joy when we left Stilwell and headed towards Tahlequah only to find this gem along the way. I knew as soon as I flew past it that I had to do a U-turn because that was indeed "the photo" for Adair County.
The multitude of kids activities have kept us from doing a lot of road trips lately. However we will try to get back on the road and posting more counties for your enjoyment soon. We have a long way to go, but unlike "the Bandit" we don't have a short time to get there. So we hope you will continue to check in on us from time to time as we post more of the 77 counties.

FAU Names Stadium Tower in Honor of Martin F. and Jane Greenberg
BOCA RATON, FL (October 18, 2011) – The Florida Atlantic University Stadium Tower has been named in honor of longtime supporters Martin F. and Jane Greenberg. The Greenbergs are members of the Inner Circle of Football Founders and have donated more than $1 million to the FAU football program.
"We are extremely grateful to the Greenbergs for their generosity, and we're pleased to name the Martin F. and Jane Greenberg Foundation Tower in their honor," said FAU President Mary Jane Saunders.

"The Greenbergs were among the earliest Founders to help set our football program in motion, and now, they have taken a great step in helping to finance our stadium. The Greenbergs are easily one of the leading benefactors of our team, and we truly appreciate their support."
FAU's 30,000-seat open-air stadium features 6,000 premium seats, including 24 suites, 26 loge boxes, 1,000 premier club seats and 4,000 priority club seats, and the latest, state-of-the-art amenities. The FAU football team will play five games in the new stadium during the 2011 season.

Posted on March 7, 2013 in Tournaments
In walks in the man, the myth, the legend, Roger Federer, for his first press conference at the BNP Paribas Open. I get the vibe that the entire room wants to clap for him, but no one can't because of journalistic integrity. I'm no journalist so I should clap, but I don't want to upset the media mafia. I hear they're quite powerful.
If you missed the Rafa press conference from earlier today, click here.
Again, this is paraphrased, as I could only type so fast. Here. We. Go.
This year, you turn 32, do you envision yourself playing 'til 37 like Ken Roswall? Do you think that far ahead?
No. Not THAT far ahead. A year or two, maybe. Sure, I'd love to be on tour at that age like the great Ken Rosewall did. Every career is unique in its own way. Life on tour is intense, but I feel like I have a lot of game left.
You've mentioned you wanted to play the Olympics in Brazil. Is that still a possibility?
I think it's totally possible. That's the goal. Make sure I practice a lot, do a lot of off-court work, working on fitness, so I can stay on tour a long time.
How much faith do you put in statistics?
A little bit. I watch 30% of the time. I rarely never see the stats.
Are the stats generally what you expected?
The errors and unforced errors are very tricky. I don't necessarily need the stats to point out things.
Do you take unforced errors with with a grain of salt?
Yes. Sometimes I win a match with 70 unforced errors.
When did you realize you can't eat what you want anymore? Is it hard to cut back on those things?
I live a very healthy lifestyle. I don't have to think about it too much. I think everyone's had those matches where it makes you change somethings (in your life). I've had those milestones along my career. Most changes were from about 15-22 years old.
Is it nice to see Rafa back?
Absolutely. I just saw him yesterday. I haven't had much contact. He wanted to get a way from it all, which is understandable. It's exciting to see him do well in South America and (to see him) here.
Quickly assess your year. Did it live up to your expectations?
I think I played really well in Australia. I was disappointed in Rotterdam; I never really got going. And Dubai was a little unfortunate with having three match points. I'm playing fine, though. I hoped to win a tournament by now, but overall happy.
Competition testing, you were a vocal player. Now there is biological passports. Do you think there should be more transparency?
I don't care about the transparency part. I think the biological passports is good news. Just ensure our tour is as clean as possible. Tennis has done a good job of being as clean as possible.
Can you talk a little bit about traveling the world, about what makes the BNP Paribas Open special?
I like something about every tournament. There's always something to like about it. Otherwise I wouldn't play in it. The BNP, it's peaceful, the fans really know the game of tennis. Of course there's the beautiful center court, and it's a prestigious tournament. All the greats have won here.
Anti-doping. What was the key factor to get the biological passports in tennis?
We've seen a lot of things happen across sports. With cycling, I think that really gets you thinking to make sure we do everything we can. The players got more vocal as well. I felt they were testing more back in '03-04. I just think it's important everyone understands how important it really is.
There you have it. In summary, Roger thinks he's still got game, loves to see Rafa back and playing, loves the BNP tournament and thinks biological passports are very important.
Thanks for reading!
Jason, TW

Excellent point, and I totally agree that students need discipline that is fair and consistent. Students will often fulfill a teachers expectations of them.I agree with a lot of what he says. Obviously you don't need a Hitler in the classroom but what he says about the importance of discipline and class management is true. It needs to be taught and taught well. Far too many think learning is about sanuk and thats what students want. I believe most students want to achieve and work their arses off when they are actually getting somewhere.
I think Steve is brave, in talking out about some of the inconsistencies, in the Korean EFL system.

Canon PowerShot SX220 HS Review
Latest Camera Reviews
Panasonic Lumix DMC-G80 Review
Your Comments
107 Comments | Newest Oldest First | Post a Comment
Would you mind putting the night shots in (on page 2)? Thanks
When rotating the command/dial scroll wheel in aperture priority mode what happens if you press the wheel too hard? I had an SX100 IS and it drove me mad because when I was trying to adjust the aperture by rotating the command/dial scroll wheel I invariably ended up changing other settings that were assigned to the four buttons on the wheel (macro, exposure compensation, flash or timer).
Have been looking for a high-zoom compact for a few weeks now. Considered Panasonic TZ10/ZS7, Nikon S8100/S9100, Casio EX-FH100, Fuji F300EXR, and the Sony HX5V, and then stumbled on the SX220 HS. Seems to be good in low light, lowish noise at higher ISO, full control of shutter speed (sports shots), HD video, a reasonable resolution LCD, huge zoom, and just about everything anyone could want in a small camera except GPS (SX230 HS for that!). So, didn't set out to look at the SX220 HS, but I've just bought it, and it'll be delivered tomorrow!
Way to go!
Your early reviews on newly released cameras are highly valued by potential buyers and upgraders.
If ISO 800 is actually usable - this camera (and its better spec'ed sibling - the SX230) will be strong competitors in the compact zoom market.
Impressive image quality for this type of camera.
Glad to see that canon has finally put the emphasis on having the best image quality in its class, rather than being "King of The Hill" in megapixels or zoom. While this camera won't replace the sub $100.00 throwaway or DSLR cameras, it might render the micro 4/3 models and premium compacts such as Canon's own G12 redundant. Almost makes me sorry about my recent Olympus EPL1 purchase
What image quality is the reviewer talking about? All the pictures have a ton of noise. This is terrible image quality.
I completely agree to what Keiran said (although my list had Samsung WB650 and hadn't had Nikon, Fuji, Sony). I'm going to buy this baby as soon as the price in Latvia drops from 360$ what it's like now, to approximately 250$, and I hope it will happen very soon.
It sounds allows the shutter to be controlled with a smile or a wink - increasing the overall user-friendly feel and handy for when you want to include yourself in the picture.
Have taken a handful of pictures with my new SX220 HS, and I am impressed. There are things I don't like about the camera, mainly the ergonomics of it (eg pop-up flash, and too many controls on the back), but the image quality is very good indeed. Yes, noise does creep in, but you really have to zoom in to see it, and the camera firmware does a very good job of maintaining the integrity of the image. Not quite a DSLR, but pretty close. Will take me ages to find my way round it, but I am very happy so far. Really can't get over how good the lens seems.
I am in the market for a good quality compact camera. I was seriously considering the Panasonic TZ10 (a year old) or the newly released TZ18. And now I have stumbled across the Canon SX220 HS. They are all similarly priced, and seem to have similar specs.
My question: is the Canon SX220 better than the TZ10 in picture quality? If they are similar in picture quality, ease of use etc., does it make more sense to go for the SX220 given that it's newer?
I compared the SX220 with the TZ10 and TZ18 in different websites and tests. The picture quality of the SX220 is similar / better at low ISO and better at high ISO. There are websites where you can compare both. My choice: SX220!
Thanks for the review. I have a Samsung WB2000 but wasn't greatly impressed with it when the flash is off due to too much blurring.
Is this any good for low-light and gig photographs?
This would be my perfect camera… except for one thing. Why have Canon stripped out the HDR mode?? It's in the S90, this is practically the same camera.. why remove such a brilliant shoot mode?!
A shame that isn't covered in the review - how can fisheye be a more important mode than HDR?
Impressive quality usable images up to 800, and marginally usable 3MP pics at 1600-3200.
More than enough for a casual shooter like me, and way better than the TZ20. Only one left to see is the HX9 and its HDR and HHT. It definitely wont have the manual control the SX220 has, though.
Don't know what you're talking about. Usable at high ISOs? This woul require usable images at low ISOs first. Did you see the same review, same sample pics?
Think, O.J. Mayo (post #7) has seen the same pics I had to see. And well, everyone asking for image quality: simply look at these sample images here! Still any questions? I've got only one: When will image quality stop decreasing and become more important again?
Hold the flash firmly in place and then switch on.
Not had the camera long enough to post any comments.
Back later!
Tom, yes know about holding the flash down at start-up. Would much prefer a firmware setting as to whether it popped up though! Pop-up flashes seem to be a trend at the moment.
I think those who complain about the noise in images with this camera are missing the point; It's a high-megapixel, small sensor camera with a huge lens that isn't 'fast'. Of course there's noise! If I wanted a compact that was high on quality I would end up with a small zoom model, with a fast lens, such as the Canon S95, the Olympus XZ-1, or the Panasonic LX5 etc.
If I want to take a picture for printing, I'll use my DSLR, but, for anything else, this camera offers a lot in a small package (as do it's competitors).
As of late March, this is the best of the superzoom compacts, that 'do it all' in a small package. Maybe it won't be next month, but that's life!
Thanks for helpful reply.
Have to say that this is the best movie mode I have seen on a camera of this size and spec.
Hello guys,
Any recommendation as to which memory card to use? My bro bought me a Sandisk Ultra SDHC 32 GB card… but it's class 4.
Do I need to get another one with class 6 for its full HD video recording?
thanks. :-)
My bro just bought me a sandisk ultra 32gb memory card for my sx220 HS but it is class 4.
after reading some review, do i need to buy another class 6 for its full HD video? or is the ultra sdhc is faster than normal class 4 sdhc?
thank u
I had a Panasonic TZ-8 for three months but I've sold it 'cause image quality didn't satisfy me, especially in low-light and on the snow, where colours were tending to blue. Now I'm going to buy SX220 or SX210, returning to Canon better quality.
"Unfortunately such effects cannot also be used when recording movies"
You can use miniature mode in movies. Just put it on miniature and then press the record button. I noticed this because when you choose the miniature shooting mode, it says there is the option for 5x, 10x, or 20x playback in miniature movies. So, it's not located in the movie menu but it's still there.
Alice: a class 6 or 10 will process the data faster. The class number refers to how many MB the card can process while in use. So a class 4 card processes at 4 MB per second, while a class 6 writes 6 MB per second, etc.
The amount of storage (in your case, 32GB) or the fancy names attached ("ultra") mean approximately 'jack' when it comes to the speed of the card.
That being said, I'm using an old (3 years) 2GB SD card which doesn't even state a class, and my HD video recording is going just fine :)
So, you're probably a-ok.
Can someone tell me where in the US the Canon SX220 is available? Or when it will be available such as on Amazon? I'm hoping to get this camera before I leave on vacation April 8th.
Thanks so much!
Does anyone know where to buy the Canon SX220 in the US or when it will be available on Amazon?
Thank you!
Jill: I think the SX220 is European only, I think the USA is only getting the SX230 with GPS. Think this is gonna be my next camera :)
Made in Japan. This a camera I would seriously consider if I was you.
Looking to get a decent compact with good zoom. Settled for the TZ10, then this was announced just before buying. There are some very good reviews and I have to say this is probably the most in depth review I have seen (thanks for all your reviews). All reviews so far heap praise on this camera and I was leaning towards it. I have looked at some very good photos on various sites including flickr. It mentions in the review here that there is some purple fringing at the edges of the photos. I can see purple/blue and green fringing in most of the photo samples. It seems to be in a very high percentage of the photos I have looked at. This made me look again at the TZ10 photos on various sites and it is hard to find more than a few that have any fringing, on the few that did it was slight and nowhere near as deep as this camera shows.
ISO 400 is OK by the look of the samples, any higher and it seems that there is noise on the samples that show as white speckles and are very pronounced. This seems to be showing with the samples on this website and not on any other photos I have seen elsewhere.
I have still not bought a compact yet. It will be this or the Panasonic after I do more research and a few more reviews for the SX220 are available. The fringing I don't like and need to see more photos from this camera as the fringing seems to be in high contrast parts of any photos. The noise I expect from all compacts above 400.
So a great review of the camera, but the sample images really let it down. I will be making my decision on which camera to get near the end of July so there should be more flickr photos to check, hopefully full size as most seem to be getting cropped or using lower resolution.
It would be nice to see some photos in decent sunlight too as pretty much all I have seen are in subdued or overcast light. A grey/white sky and edge of a building doesn't photograph too well this camera.
I bought this camera 5 days ago and today I am going to the shop to returm it, I AM VERY SHOCKED ABOUT CANON SX 220 and big let down from Canon, apparently they were rushing too fast to start salling it. I think it's on purpose not putting shots in dark so Flash has to be used. I took about 30 photos in darker conditions and with flash. In wide angle (28mm) with lens very far forward on all photos THE LOWER RIGHT CORNER IS IN DARK (probably lens is obstacle for light from flash), it looks like your finger is in a way but you can try with tripod, still the same. I am verrrry big fan of canon and I was waiting to buy it and it's MASSIVE DISAPPOINTMENT.
My experience of the Canon SX220 was also extremely disappointing. I returned it the next day, based on the hit and miss quality of the various photos. In fact, I was shocked by the poor quality of many of the photos in low light. My previous camera, a Canon Powershot A95, which I had been using for 6 or so years, used to produce more reliable quality.
I found a lot of noise, particularly in low light conditions, and the auto mode didn't seem to help. The comments made by O J Mayo (14th March) and Robin (17th March) are really pertinent. As Robin said: "When will image quality stop decreasing and become more important again?" What's the point of a camera having more pixels and long zoom, if the most important feature, picture quality, is mediocre?
Except fringing at wide angle, this camera is very good. Concerning noise, one step up is the canon s95, in pocket megazooms there's no better picture quality (Sony HX7V, Pany TZ20, Nikon S9100, Fuji F550EXR… all blotchy bad processing). I think you have a bad sample sjoban, or perhaps you're always judging on 100% crops, which is not the right way since there's more than 5 MP on these tiny sensors.
Fidu, you are probably right. Perhaps at 100%, the image does show up more noise on these units compared to the 5mp max of older units. Which begs the question: for day to day p&s, and if you are not concerned with photos beyond 7x5, does it make better sense to scale down on the mp?
Sjoban, the answer is yes for daylight shooting. But I agree with you, it's not much better in low light conditions compared to older units.
About the SX220 HS and some current P&S, keep in mind there's also new features. For example, I was blown away by the "handheld night scene" mode. Powerful algorithms are sometimes interesting (and i'm not really into scene modes…), in that case it combines 3 shots to create a noise-free image. It actually works incredibly well, which is most welcome. And there's no need to be frozen like a greek statue at all ! (thanks to IS and surprisingly good comparing process, way better than the "HDR" mode on the S95).
So yes, there's a lot of marketing blindness but sometimes we find a balanced solution, and that PowerShot is the best right now.
I have to say I am really, really surprised by those who say they are 'massively disappointed' by this camera. Besides hatching unicorns and making dinner, this camera does everything—with skill. This is the best point and shoot I've ever laid my hands on (and I come from a long line of canon powershots).
The features and possibilities with the 220 hs massively out-do the Canon point and shoots I've had before. I bought the sx220 hs mainly for the HD video capability, but I haven't let it out of my site for generic photography ever since it arrived last Saturday.
If anyone wants to see my sample shots, feel free to check out my flickr set where you can view night+day photography, original sizes, etc.
Had the camera for a few days now. If anyone's interested, am using a Transcend 16GB Class 10, which works fine.
There are a few oddities. I haven't conducted any formal tests, but the camera does seem to like 'going high' on the ISO, if you leave it on 'Auto ISO', and this, obviously, is where noise creeps in. So, might be worth sticking to 'P mode', and setting the ISO to whatever you think appropriate for the light levels, or for a good shutter speed.
I have tried the digital tele-convert (a variation on the digital zoom), and it was pretty effective, although the image stabiliser struggled a bit.
Never really thought about this before on a camera, but… I was wearing polarised sunglasses, and, as I rotated the camera into 'portrait mode', the display went black. So, one can assume the display is polarised.
I agree with Steph above, it isn't the greatest, but it does everything. Also, if you want to get good pictures with it, you will have to think about getting into shutter priority mode to take some control.
I bought this camera just under a week ago and I've taken just over 600 shots with it. The more I use it the more I like it. I can see it getting as much use as my Canon 40D DSLR.
Whatever other people have said about its shortcomings, it's worth remembering that it's a compact camera. To expect perfect photos with no noise and no fringing at high zoom is unrealistic. If you want very good image quality, go for the Canon S95 instead.
But if you're thinking of getting the all-in-one best-of-features SX220, you might like to see some more photos in my Flickr set at http://www.flickr.com/photos/garryknight/sets/72157626228096355/ and sample photos with discussion in this thread: http://photography-on-the.net/forum/showthread.php?t=1018633
By the way, nice shots, Steph!
I've owned different digital compacts and have had no problem with dark areas due to flash obstruction. You said that the dark spot still wouldn't go even on wide angle, this seems odd as the lens doesn't stick out too far, not more than a smaller zoom camera at full extention, and with it having a pop-up flash the light comes from a higher possition than on most compacts, increasing the light's angle of view. If this a problem with all SX220HS cameras then i'll be looking else where.
I've tested the flash both at 5mm (28mm equiv) and with the lens fully extended at 70mm (392mm equiv). There were no dark spots in either of the flash photos. I used my living room wall as the background, which is white and so any dark spots would have definitely shown up.
all I can suggest is… move your finger! lol
I added those shots to my test folder on flickr (link in comment #34)
Please help me decide between SX220 & SX210.
I dont need videos, GPS, larger than 7x9 prints.
Can I take such clear, crisp photos like "http://www.photographyblog.com/?URL=http://www.flickr.com/photos/hotcommodity/sets/72157626237425327/"
with SX210? Specially the one where the moon looks like a floodlight
I would like to know more about the quality of enlargements of pictures taken with the Canon SX220 (e.g. poster format).
Which digital camera (of about the same price, preferably a Canon) would deliver the best enlargements?
I have a question to those who own this interesting camera: the "ultra vivid" mode is an HDR mode? does it work using more pictures with different exposures?
or does it just increase contrast in a single pic?
It seems to be a great camera on paper. Unfortunately the sample images can hardly be compared for example to the Panasonic TZ10, because the Canon samples are often between ISO 400 and 1600, while the TZ10 samples are mainly between ISO 80 and 200.
That said I see much noise in the pictures even at ISO 400. And further they do not seem to be better in any way than the panasonic ones…?
I struggle between the SX220HS and a bridge camera like the panasonic FZ35/38.
An interesting thing of course is the slowmo-feature, also found in the casio cams.
"amplifier:" I recomment to choose the newer SX220 ! I had the sx210 and now I own the SX220. The SX220 is much much better. Faster, sharper, more features.
The SX220 is one of the best cameras I've owned so far.
Best wishes
I want to buy a good digital camera for me… m new to photography…I have searched a lot but stuck between Panasonic TZ 10 and Cannon SX 220???? Can't decide which to buy…. Can anybody help me sincerely
Love to comment but lost it with the stupid sliding thing down the side of the window that wont let me focus on the review but insists that I go buy LOW PRICE!!!!
Screw it, I'll go look somewhere that doesnt annoy the f&*^ out of me.
Been reading these comments about noise. Looking at the sample images, those at the higher isos clearly have some noise but I expect this with film or digitals. At normal isos the pictures are fine. After all what do most of take photos for - analysis of pixels and noise or simply to have a nice record of family, friends, holidays and so forth. I think its a shame that it doesn't have a vari-angle screen. My Powershot A620 (7.1Mp etc) several years old does and it is very handy - at times. But bigger zoom is handier still as is IS.
hi! i bought canon sx220 hs yesterday after reading so many comments…. but one thing is making me worried… in still shootong mode there are purple fringes moving horizontally on the LCD… does anyone of u qwing this camera facing the same problem??? should i claim for warranty??? kindly reply me soon
No purple stuff here. I'd return it if I were you.
thanx Garry
Hi Garry , I ve seen ur photography samples on flickr… Really v. Nice…. How can I get to INVISIBLE mode???( regarding ur picture of a businessman in Invisible mode)
You flip the invisible switch, of course! ;-)
And now I'm not sure if you were joking or not. I certainly was…
I was not joking at all… I just wanted to know the technique by which u took that picture Or was it done by Photoshop????
I just turned on the camera, aimed at the guy, pressed the shutter release. Copied the picture off the camera onto my PC then uploaded it to Flickr as-is. It was intended as a sample shot so I didn't want to do any post-processing to it.
Hi! Do have somebody overheating problems with the Canon SX220 HS?
After 10-15 minutes of use the complete LCD Monitor, the battery and the camera body part where the battery is, my camera going very warm.
Does anyone facing the same problem?
Should i claim for warranty?
Thank you for your help.
does any one know whether sx220 hs and sx230 hs has MANUAL CONTROL. if yes then how far managable compared to a dslr ???????
In one sense they are completely manageable compared to a DSLR. They have Program mode (you can control the ISO, the camera does the rest), Tv mode (you set the shutter speed), Av mode (you set the aperture), and full manual (you set the aperture and shutter speed); in all of these modes you can control the ISO, white balance, etc. Having said this, the allowed shutter speeds are probably not so versatile as on a DSLR, and the available apertures only run from f/3.1 to f/8.
When I wire up a mini HDMI cable to my HDTV the image is cropped sideways but fine vertical.
I'm guessing this is quite natural though?
thank u Garry for the information. can u name any site where the manual controls of these 2 cams are shown in details?
I seem to be turning into a one-man advice centre for the SX220. I have no idea what you mean by "the manual controls". If you look in this review, you can see the wheel for choosing P,A,S,M modes. Once your in one of these manual modes, you use the dial on the back to choose shutter speed in A mode, and to choose aperture in S mode. In M mode you press the top part of the wheel to select whether rotating the wheel changes the aperture or the shutter speed.
I don't know of any website that shows this, if this is what you wanted. You can, however, see it in the manual, which you can download from here: http://freemanualonline.blogspot.com/2011/03/canon-powershot-sx220-hs-user-manual.html
i read about thr sx 200 i got fascinated by the many features its posses infact i m thinking of buying one, for the many features its quite and regarding its a compact camera it offers a good price.I want to use it more for taking vidio clips can someone tell me the actual time it takes with 4 gd when using the camera on these modes (1920x1080) (1280X720) (640X480) Thanks for the answer.,
george spiteri:
(1920x1080) - 14m 34s
(1280X720) - 20m 43s
(640X480) - 43m 43s
The heading for this camera, SX220HS is actually that for the newer model SX230HS. Would you therefore correct this misleading introduction. How much internal memory does the SX220HS have?
No one comment here anymore ?!?!... I want to know wich is better between Canon SX 220, 230 or ... 220/230 HX?...
I want to mentioned that I work in mass-media and I want a better zoom, good stabilisation, panoramic mode, good brust shutter and, ofcourse, quality on pics. Plzzz, write here your opinion. Thanks.
Nick (Romania),
I'm not aware of any 220/230 HX camera…. between the canon's SX220 HS and SX230 HS the quality is pretty much the same, SX230 HS has the GPS tag as an extra, nothing else to add.
You can compare it to HX9V from Sony though… IMHO price wise Canon SX220 HS has the best balance in features/price/quality of this range, however prices change from country to country, in mine the difference in price makes it an hard choice.
You work in mass-media? Well assuming you need it for professional reasons, it all depends of how much quality you need, S95 is considered the best in image quality, but has a less versatile zoom, G12 has a longer zoom lens, but is a bit more limited in the lens aperture (thus low-light), SX220/230 present a nice balance between portability and zoom range, but aperture is not that nice, not detail resolve power in comparison.
My suggestion: get a DSLR, you can have all the zoom you want (comes with a price though), stabilization is often better, panoramic mode… I don't know what you mean by this, if it's wide angle lens, yes (SX220/230 are a bit limited in wide angle for today standards), if it's panorama stitch use a computer, quality is really hard to beat, also, DSLRs are often a lot faster when comes to continuous shooting modes, you don't wanna lose any moment, do you? However price and versatility are the big issues.
If what you do is more web related SX220 or SX230 would serve you well, if you need a camera for marketing works that require magazine prints or more demanding stuff (shooting sports action or low-light concerts for example) get a DSLR (but get informed what a camera is first - what is aperture, focal length, shutter speed, ISO/ASA, ND filters, hot shoes, sensor crop ratios, etc).
Check the samples, see if they are applicable to your work media support, yes? Are the features of the camera what you need and you can afford it's price? great, you have your camera.
Its possible to do HDR with this camera (at least exposure bracketing the processing you have to do yourself). Read :
Really a good camera, packed with all the essentials for the price it is sold. The pop up flash is annoying and could have been made to pop up on demand i.e. auto flash or flash on.
this apart the pics are good. sorry FANTASTIC.
I caomapred this and sony camere HX 7 or 9 V. Though the reviews for sony were better, I took snap of brown cartoon boxes in the store with both the cameras. and the difference was evident. The colors were same with Canon and changed with sony. Also my Kids could say canon was giving more real pics and skin tone than sony.
So settled for the same.
the 14 X zoom is good. But with 56 X digital zoom you and holding the camera stable you can have good pics at this extra zoom
Strongly recommend Canon SX 220 HS
I tested this camera thoroughly before buying (I worked in a camera shop so had access to all the contenders), and choose it over the competition. I also took photos at maximun zoom of the same church tower, using this camera vs an slr + 70-300mm zoom lens - I had the resulting pictures printed in our lab and used to show them to my customers that were looking for a good compact, and ask them which they preferred. The results were, and I'm not exagerating, that all the people I showed them to preferred the canon sx220 images.
well i find the image quality to be too noisy (with/without zoom and in all ISO).
Image stabilizer also found to be focusing only in the center of the screen making the corners of the image blurry when clicking from a moving vehicle. photos in auto mode are too much saturated and too dull in program mode(normal colors) else the video quality is highly appreciable, zoom works great and pop up flash is not a big issue(in fact adds charm to its looks).
Overall a below average package.
Awesome camera….bought it a month back…awesome pic quality..
I have to buy a p&s camera,I intended to buy the sony hx7v or wx7.But read the coments there and found many saying that the pictures look like paintings.Can you tell me if this cannon has the same problem…...
Hi there i was wondering if you can attach a intervalometer to this camera to achieve a timelapse or does it have one built in?
No ... but you can use CHDK to do it (google it)... bare in mind that it is not something official from Canon….
does anybody knows why when i play a recorded movie on my sx 220 the sound doesn't work?if i put it on my laptop the movie has sound…sorry for my bad english but i'm from romania:))
vrenicu valeriu,
If the camera doesn't have speakers it cannot reproduce sound from it. For example, my camera has only one speaker while the video is recorded in stereo.
However I do believe that SX220 has a speaker built-in on it, when playing a video clip try to increase volume by pushing the key UP, this is stated in the camera manual.
If the sound is present when using the AV stereo cable AVC-DC400ST connected to a TV, then your in-build camera speaker might be damaged.
Hope it helps…
@vrenicu valeriu: You need to turn Mute off. It's the top item on the Setup menu.

thank you very much zebarnabe.i increased volume by pushing the UP key and a miracle happened:)):))tehnology nowadays…
thank's a lot zebarnabe!
got a lot of doubts regarding SX 220 hs
how does its IQ compare with hx9v(spcly low light)
is the manual mode really helpful…can i get a good shallow depth of field pic….
any hdr modes such as hx9v(or auto bracketing)
and finally shud i wait for 2012 model…..
shel, look at the SX 230 HS reviews, the sensor is the same and the 230 is a more common version (just make sure it is the powershot and not the ixus).
Regarding depth of field control, don't expect miracles, sensor is tiny so physics play a big role, however shutter speed manual controls are quite handy.
Regarding HDR or auto-bracketing, I lacks the feature officially (though using CHDK provides it and access to RAW, intervalometer and motion detection as well)
By looking at several reviews:
Regarding ISO, it is one of the best compact cameras you can have (you have almost 1 stop over the Sony regarding noise/detail), feel free to shoot at ISO 800, 1600 is quite nice as well. Handheld Night Scene mode works well, but Sony's Anti Motion Blur mode seems to do a good job as well.
That aside Dynamic Range is also really impressive. Colors are a bit less saturated than Sony, IDK if more accurately or not as I don't own either camera.
Issues? The easy appearance of Chromatic Aberrations at certain focal lengths, you can correct those by software but a bit of softness and contrast edge dessaturation might occur. Battery is eaten fairly fast as well (if you don't use the flash it is not much of an issue).
Flash pops up annoyingly.
Sony lens start at 24mm equiv., making it a better camera regarding landscapes for example
thnks a lot @zebarnabe…..
yes powershot is wht im interested in (220 as gps is of no use 2 me)
hey today canon launched 240/260 hs…range
now im in a dilemma…it comes with 20x…4:3 screen
they seem 2 have corrected all mistakes of the previous model
and with DIGIC 5…will the image quality really be better???
so to wait for the new model or grab 220 hs???(wht will be the diff in price)
waiting for your reply…
shel, as there is no user feedback from foruns nor reviews to assert the image quality, features or reliability, it is hard to tell how good of a camera these new are.
As far as I can tell, the sensor should be the same or a slightly tuned up version (in image quality should not be much different), however the DIGIC 5 might process the image better giving more pleasant JPEGs. It is stated for the newer one: "up to 75% less noise than the models' predecessors" ... how they measure it, I have no idea, but, if that means trading less noise for more smudgeness I would take the older model.
On the other side, the extra zoom is asking for more trouble in the lens department. Furthermore, the lens starts at f/3.5, meaning that the old f/3.1 is slight brighter at wide angle. Talking about wide angle the newer version has a quite wider angle and telephoto reach on the lens. I would prefer some brighter aperture instead, but that is just me.
I guess it is up to the person buying it, the older model costs around half the price and looks like a better bargain, but I would wait for reviews to arrive - waiting for reviews will also ensure that price will be a bit lower (as the flood of early adopters passed by) at the time of deciding.
thnks a lot…@zebarnabe
your comments were very valuable!!!!!
I've just started looking for a compact camera with image quality being my first priority, esp in low light. I am impressed with the reviews I've read here about this camera, and I like the fact that it's got a 14x zoom lens. Would the all round image quality justify the extra cost, and reduced zoom lens of the Canon S100 over the sx220 ?
Does the Image quality of the S100 justify the extra cost over this SX220?
Hi. Does anyone have the problem of "unidentified image" with this camera. I've bought 2 new memory cards and the same message keeps appearing.. so wondering if it's the camera???
Canon SX220 is a big disappointment.
-in auto mode iso is often boosted over 400 which produces lots of noise
-visible strong chromatic abberation
-weak flash. It pops up every time when you switch on the camera. It is in a place where you normally keep your finger while holding the camera
-16:9 screen, when you take 4:3 photos you see black stripes on the sides
-no HDR
-no sweep panorama mode
-in macro mode visible dark areas when flash is used
-relatively poor image quality in low-light conditions despite CMOS sensor
-28 mm wide angle is not wide enough
-poor image stabilization in movie mode
Generally it produces good pictures in perfect, well-lit conditions. The images on this site reveal the real quality of canon sx220. Pictures
are very noisy, iso is boosted too high when photos are taken in cloudy weather.
Hi, after reading reviews I am going out to buy this camera, but I am un sure which is the best sd card for it?? I probably need a 16 GB so I can record as well. Thanks
I enjoyed your review though I'd have liked a more thorough comparison with the competitors.
After initially purchasing a purple IXUS 220 HS, and finding the colour hideous I was fortunate to exchange it with a grey Powershot SX220 HS(customer legislation in Norway is great)at the same price, approx $318/£204 (courtesy a forthcoming salesperson).
Some initial tests shows that this seems to be a good and versitale camera. A 4Gb memorycard gives you about 1230 shots or about 24 minutes of film.
With a 210-picture capacity battery I am considering an extra battery pack for my camera.
Can't wait to really get going with it!
I bought SX220 HS 3 days back and am very disappointed about it's performance totally. when we scroll through the differet commands ,the navigation wheel is not stopping @ desired selection. 100 photos batter were hot and weak. From the scene modes, cannot change from panoramic mode to normal mode as the camera navigation wheel doesn't stop to close.I was too early to give away my SX100 IS which was very good for the last 4 years.
I have been using this camera for about 6 months. I wanted a compact camera for my treks; instead of carrying around my SLR and the lens. I have no issue with the picture and the video quality. The only issue I have is with the battery life. If you switch on the video mode, the battery drains very fast.
Please tell me which one I should choose:
Canon sx220hs or sx230hs. How long does the sx230hs last with GPS off?
is the lens cover problem real???
ive heard read several user reviews that the lens cover is too fragile and might not last even a month???

I bought the Canon SX220 to replace my old Lumix TZ3. A camera that I would still be using to this day except for the fact that I lost it last year. Sob Sob. With that camera I had taken over 5,000 images and with very very few exceptions, had stunning picture quality.
For its replacement I read all of the reviews and it was a toss up between the TZ18 and the SX220. I don't require battery sapping GPS. The reviews gave the Canon as the better bet.
Well I have had it for several months now and I'm seriously underwhelmed and not happy at all with the performance. On the Auto setting it seems to love higher ISOs where noise is horrendous, even in good light. In low light, forget it. I'm slowly experimenting with all of the other settings but why can't the Auto cope like my old TZ3?
Now we all know it's pixel count and zoom that sells. Pixel count especially, even though a 42" full HD TV only requires 2MP to fill the screen, which would satisfy the vast majority of picture viewings. Not that you could ever persuade the buying public of that where megapixels are spoken about in the same way as size of genitalia.
I've also just gone back to look at some pictures taken with my old Olympus 4040Z, which gave a maximum picture size of 2272 x 1704, to get a snip over 4 MP. Beats the 220SX hands down. Yes I like the zoom on the 220SX but what's the point if zoom plus megapixels equals noise.
I'm seriously considering sending it back but what would I replace it with? On to EBay for a TZ3 probably.
canon powershot sx220 have sequence mode or not?
To Linda;
The "unindentified image" issue often occours if you have used the memory card in a computer where then have turned it. When you return the memory card to the camera it won't recognise the rotated images.
Really liked it at first but now have scratches on the lens and debris inside, despite generally being careful. According to some people, the lens cover causes the scratching. Gave up using it as a result and bought a different brand. Used to like Canon. :-(
Been a Canon girl, all the EOS up to 550D lens packs and all - blooming good photographer, treated myself to the SX220 HS at £119, in the sale at Argos, it should have been £179. What a load of rubbish, took it to a party, out of focus, tried another setting out of focus, blurring, seems to confuse itself, and when I tried it on fast speed, the kids and animals, what a crock that is: the flash popped up (might scare swans) and the pictures are out of focus. Now if I were 15 again I could deal with it BUT WHAT A CROCK OF RUBBISH, thanks Canon
After uploading photos, does anyone know how to delete all the photos from my Canon Powershot SX220 HS. At present I am deleting each photo individually.

I'm excited to start pouring over FOA 2011 and just downloaded it on my Kindle. I just can't figure out a good way to actually read it. At the "Fit to Screen" setting, the two columns of type are too tiny to read and when I start zooming in, it cuts off the columns and forces you to jump around the page in really funny ways.
Are there any other options I'm missing? Or some way to transform the PDF to take out the columns and make it straight text?
I love FOA and am looking forward to this year's book.

There is free software out there that will convert PDFs to eBook formats. Just look them up on google.
I adapted to the zoom pretty quickly. It's weird at first, but I read the whole thing on Kindle and it didn't bother me. It does seem to be a little less friendly than last year, but still do-able.
I would advise against converting as you will lose most of the tables in a way that makes them readable, and this book is about the tables just as much as about the text. The solution I prefer for reading on Kindle:
-Rotate 270 degrees (should be the last icon in the rotate row on the settings page)
-If you've got ridiculous eyes like me, you should be able to read it on "fit to screen", and can navigate using the next / previous page buttons
-If it is still a little small to make out, go to "actual size"
-From here you can navigate using the 5-way controller, moving down to follow the column and then right to get to the next column, both of which fit on the screen
That would be my suggestion, as done on the Kindle 3. It should work the same on the kindle 1/2, and if you have the DX I'd imagine you wouldn't have this problem.
Good luck.
If buy the PDF can I then load my PDF onto a Kindle or do I have to pay twice?
You can load PDF on kindle so you don't have to pay twice.
Best way to read PDFs on Kindle is to rotate the screen and then use 'fit to width'. This should allow you to view the entire column width in a good font size.
Just tried ePub2Go.com and it says that FOA2011 is copy protected and cannot be converted.
I am currently trying online-convert.com. I will let you know if that works.
I've been reading it on my phone*,as I did last year and not had any problems. I have it zoomed it so that one column just about fills the screen, scroll that down slightly as necessary then move across. For the bits in one column (player comments etc.) I just rotate the phone and it fits pretty well to the screen.
*I figure reading on a phone is the same as reading on a Kindle because you hold it closer to your face, so the relative size is the same. Its a HTC desire btw, which is probably marginally smaller than an iPhone. If you had something like a Galaxy II or HTC Incredible it would obviously be a bit bigger, so you could hold it further away from your face!
The screen technology for the Kindle is actually really different from a phone. It's not the size, but the fact that you don't have a bright light straining your eyes.
ktismael has it. Rotate it sideways.
All the software I've tried hasn't done a very good job with the formatting, so I'm just reading it as a pdf and using zoom. I've gotten quite used to it, so it's not a big issue.
As a suggestion for next year, I hope maybe the FO guys consider releasing a Kindle (or even just an ePub) version of the FOA. I know I would be willing to pay a premium price over the .pdf version in order to have a version native to eReaders.
An ePub version is definitely a goal for next year.

On my way to work early this morning for a night shift tonight. Tired and cranky as I only had about 4 hours of sleep last night. Will sleep in the hotel when I arrive for a few more hours. Always so difficult to transition from days to nights.
This is also the time where it becomes difficult to eat Primal. Living out of a suitcase in a town with a population under 10,000. I'm certain that Grok didn't pull many strings of 12hr nightshifts; preparation is the key. Wish me luck!

I still hate Tsitouris
why did he start the last game. I am still irate
Who? What? huh?

1964, learn a little history
My bad? I'm sorry I don't know what happend in 1964, 25 years before I was born. It also seemed a bit random to go along with your Chad Moller is good thread.
sounds like somebodies a little upset after the OSU game?
1964 was key the reds were done in by the deft fielding of Alex Johnson
Geesh you must be mad, you were one year old!
no I am not mad about Tsitouris I am irretrievably, and irreconcialibly irate that Sisler pitched Tsitouris

Bill McCool is the antichrist.
Yep, that was one sad day. The stars were lined up for a miracle, and we send out Tsitouris.
I heard that he showed up at the park with his car packed to leave for home.
If only McCovey had hit the ball two feet higher.
Roy Tucker
John Tsitouris was the 1964 equivalent of a 1999 Steve Parris in the play-in game against the Mets.
1964 National League pennant race, an absolute classic. Unfortunately, the Reds came up short. 1964, the year I learned heartache as a Reds fan.
'64 race was one for ages
Column by The Post's Lonnie Wheeler
Forty years later, Jim O'Toole can still see the whole scene from the on-deck circle at Crosley Field, where he waited to bat in the bottom of the seventh inning.
It was Friday night, the final weekend of the 1964 season, and the Reds led the Philadelphia Phillies 3-0, ready to reassume first place in one of the greatest pennant races the National League has ever seen. The Phillies, meanwhile, were two days from disappearing deep into some distant woods to blast away their miseries with the hunting rifles they had bought in foolish anticipation of World Series checks.
The race had been theirs all summer. Jim Bunning had pitched a perfect game on Father's Day. Johnny Callison was looking like a Most Valuable Player. Gene Mauch was making all the right moves as manager. With a dozen games to play, Philadelphia led by 6 ½, leaving the Reds, Cardinals and Giants to jostle for second place.
Cincinnati and St. Louis, however, were not yet in surrender modes, even in late September. The Cardinals were determined to win the pennant for Bing Devine, the popular general manager who had traded for Lou Brock just before the June 15 deadline but was fired in August, replaced by Bob Howsam. The Reds, meanwhile, wanted dearly to do something special for Fred Hutchinson, the intrepid manager who was overtaken that year by lung cancer and supplanted on Aug. 13 by Dick Sisler, the son of Hall of Famer George Sisler and the former Whiz Kid whose final-day home run had brought the Phillies their memorable pennant in 1950.
Of the two, the Reds seemed to attack the final weeks with a more inspired vengeance. When the teams met in a Sept. 19 doubleheader at Crosley Field -- where, in Pete Rose's second season, attendance averaged just over 10,000 a game -- Bob Gibson held a 5-0 lead in the opener, only to lose on Frank Robinson's 3-run, ninth-inning homer. The next day, the Reds came back from a 6-0 deficit to beat the Cardinals 9-6 and wrest second place from St. Louis.
But the Phillies still led by 6 ½ games when Cincinnati moved on to Philadelphia for a three-game series beginning Sept. 21. The home team's pitcher that night was Art Mahaffey of Western Hills High School. The Reds went with spot-starter John Tsitouris. The two toiled scorelessly into the sixth inning, when, with two outs and the great Robinson at bat, Chico ("bench me or trade me") Ruiz had the cockeyed idea to steal home. He made it. The game ended 1-0, and so, effectively, did Philadelphia's season.
Beginning with that unforgettable night, the Phillies would go on to lose 10 straight games, pulling off the most ignominious collapse in major-league history. Cincinnati almost simultaneously won nine in a row, taking over first place in New York by sweeping a doubleheader with the Mets for the second time in three days.
When they returned home for their final five games, the Reds were met at the airport by a happy throng of thousands, including Hutchinson, the raging, revered skipper who by then was fearfully thin. The Reds had watched their bearish leader deteriorate over the long summer, which was particularly hard for O'Toole.
"I had a special feeling for Hutch," the lefty said. "He was the one who really pulled us all together. When he became the manager, he gave me the ball every four days. From the middle of 1959 to the day he died, I was about 86-60.
"But halfway through the '64 season, he just couldn't do it anymore. One eye sagged down. His boy always wore the number 1 uniform like his dad, and he started limping just like his dad. How Hutch ever got to the airport to congratulate us was unbelievable."
The Pirates were in town, and on the next two nights, in front of crowds not much bigger than that which had stormed the airport, the Reds were shut out by first Bob Friend and then Bob Veale, who outlasted Jim Maloney in a 1-0, 16-inning struggle. But Cincinnati won the finale, starting the final weekend -- strangely, there was no game scheduled for Saturday -- a half-game behind St. Louis and two ahead of both San Francisco and Philadelphia. It was such a tangle that a four-way tie was conceivable.
The Reds, though, had grander ideas. "I think everybody felt like we had it done," said Joe Nuxhall. "The Phillies, in all honesty, were just saying, 'Hey, let's get it over with.' ''
And they played like it; at least for seven innings. O'Toole, the Reds' best pitcher and biggest winner that year, had them totally silenced with only six more outs to get, and as he knelt in the on-deck circle, was hoping his team would pad its three-run lead against Phillies left-hander Chris Short. That was when Short hit Leo Cardenas in the thigh with a slider.
With his bat still gripped, Cardenas took off, seething, toward the mound, at which point the anger shifted to the Philadelphia side. "That just lit them up," said Nuxhall. "After that, things went haywire for us."
O'Toole was uneasy about what Cardenas did, but it wasn't until the top of the eighth that his pique was directed squarely at the Cincinnati shortstop, who didn't bother to take ground balls while the club warmed up. Then, with one out, Frank Thomas hit an infield bloop that Cardenas made little attempt to catch.
"I don't know where he was at," O'Toole said, "but I was so frustrated to see that happen with so much on the line."
The frustration mounted when Sisler went to the bullpen for Billy McCool, leaving the lefty in to face right-handed rookie slugger Richie Allen. Allen's triple gave the Phillies a 4-3 lead that stood up.
In the clubhouse after the game, O'Toole had harsh words for Cardenas and shoved him up against a wall. Cardenas responded by pulling an ice pick on the Cincinnati pitcher. The Reds were unraveling.
In St. Louis, however, the Mets' Alvin Jackson was besting Gibson 1-0. New York won again Saturday, leaving the Reds and Cardinals tied heading into the final game, with the Phillies one back. The Giants had been eliminated Saturday.
Bunning started Sunday on two days' rest, but Maloney was still worn out from the 11 hard innings he had pitched against Pittsburgh. Sisler went instead with Tsitouris, who was not up to the occasion. The revitalized Phillies were all over Cincinnati, 10-0.
Even so, a three-way tie remained possible when the Cardinals trailed the Mets 3-2 in the middle innings. But after Gibson -- who hadn't slept after Friday's defeat -- rallied his team with four innings of gutsy, scoreless relief, St. Louis had won the pennant.
Or the Reds had lost it, perhaps needlessly. "When you wake up the sleeping dog, that's what happens," reflected O'Toole. "It was terrible that we couldn't win."
It was worse that, on November 12, Hutchinson died at the age of 45. The following year, his number was the first that the Reds retired.
On that day, much like this one and every final Friday for the past 40 baseball seasons, O'Toole was visited by the melancholy memory of 1964. He feels now what he felt then.
"We should have won it for Hutch," he said.
Publication Date: 10-01-2004
Tsitouris drew the short straw - Maloney was overthrown.
Interesting that Sisler never thought of "bullpen day".
why did he start the last game. I am still irate
He drew the short straw. It's a fact.
Yep, that was one sad day. The stars were lined up for a miracle, and we send out Tsitouris.
I heard that he showed up at the park with his car packed to leave for home.
Same story I got. Never like the guy. At the time I was 15 and thought he and Johnny Tillotson were the same guy. I trashed all his records. :-)
J/K, of course, but Tsitouris would be our No. 2 starter if he were on the team today. Back in those days we had better pitching. Of course, you can almost pick any era (with some notable exceptions) and find the Reds with better pitching!
He drew the short straw. It's a fact.
That was because Maloney couldn't or wouldn't pitch, right?
I'd like to hear the entire story. We need Maloney to write a tell-all book about the 60's Reds.

Maloney had not pitched in 3 days and felt not ready, he wanted 4 days in case there was a playoff (whoops)
Anyway here's his line from his last game that year on 9-30
Cincinnati Reds IP H R ER BB SO HR
Maloney 11 3 0 0 2 13 0
Ellis 2 0 0 0 0 4 0
Tsitouris L(9-12) 2.2 2 1 1 1 2 0
Henry 0.1 0 0 0 0 0 0
Totals 16 5 1 1 3 19 0
Maloney once threw 136 pitches in 1961 in a 5 inning game, I imagine this game there was quite the amount of throws as well.
According to O'Toole Sisler lost control of the clubhouse (Leo and O'Toole got in a fight about a dropped fly ball) and his assertion was if Hutch was there he would have cleared it up.
But Hutch was sick, so sick that in ST they built a lifeguard like tower for him to sit behind HP.
That was because Maloney couldn't or wouldn't pitch, right?
I'd like to hear the entire story. We need Maloney to write a tell-all book about the 60's Reds.
Maloney could do it. He is a "master" storyteller.
Such a sad story
Roy Tucker
My dumb little story about that game.
more analysis should have been out into why the Reds could not score any runs vs. the Pirates in game i and 2 of the series. They wasted two beautifully pitched games
more analysis should have been out into why the Reds could not score any runs vs. the Pirates in game i and 2 of the series. They wasted two beautifully pitched games
Because Robinson and Johnson choked, Johnson had 5 K's in the Wednesday game.... ouch... and here I thought that was only in todays game.
I am still irate
Talk about holding a grudge! I guess you have to get rid of 52 year old pent up anger somehow.
Oh man those great memories when i was a boy of thirteen. The Reds were everything to me Vada Pinson, Jim Maloney and company. You know i had almost forgotten about Johnny Tsitouris from Monroe N.C. He was sort of like the 1964 version of Steve Parris. Great memories of days gone by.
why did nuxhall pitch to mccovey on JUne 17th blowing a 2-1 lead
why did nuxhall pitch to mccovey on JUne 17th blowing a 2-1 lead
Gotta go with the Lefty matchup, plus Nuxy was one of the few who could strike out Mccovey.
Here's my 2 cents........
Reds' mgr Dick Sisler may have picked Tsitouris over Maloney because Maloney threw 11 innings in his previous start and Maloney would be available to go the next game if there was a tie in the standings. Tsitouris wasn't exactly a Matt Belisle starting the last game of the year with everything on the line. Tsitouris appeared in 7 games in September '64 with a 2.32 ERA. Four of those 7 appearances came as a starting pitcher. In those 4 starts, he went 2-1 with a 1.69 ERA. In his previous start against the Phillies, on Sept 21, he tossed a 6 hit shutout with 8 whiffs.
Tsitouris, who Pete Rose called "Tits", faced the Phillies that Sunday and things went smooth for the first 2 innings. Pitcher Jim Bunning whiffed to open the bottom of the third-inning and then the wheels fell off. A walk, a double, an intentional walk, and a single. The Phillies scored 2 runs out of that and Tsitouris was yanked from the game. Nuxhall replaced Tsitouris. Tony Taylor's single off Nuxie scored Philadelphia's third run of the game. The Reds used a total of 7 pitchers that day. Joey Jay allowed 5 ER on 5 hits in his 2/3 inning of relief work.
I just wanted correct anyone who might of assumed Tits got raked over the coals all day long. IMO, a bigger problem for the Reds that day was facing pitcher Jim Bunning, a premier pitcher in those days.
IMO, a 1964 version of Jim Bunning would be the game's top pitcher in 2007.
