I've been testing the SD870 for kite and pole aerial photography. It performs well, but defaults too often to f/8, which results in shutter speeds too slow, which leads to too large a proportion of images with motion blur. I need to be able to set the nd filter out, f/2.8, to achieve high enough shutter speeds for this application.
I would be happy to help in any way possible
As an added incentive to the first individual to add this functionality, I would be happy to send an aerial photo of their choice, up to 8"x10". My better images are here:
