The answer to your problem could be solved if you bought a SLR and spent £1300 on a F2.3 L series lens. Its the answer all photography problems that I'm hearing about these days.

Got it in one Nitromaster, once you spend all that money you want to spend another £1800 that you haven't got on other L series lenses. Photography, its an expensive obsession which can drive a photgraphy widow insane.

I agree with what L5->R5/CR said, and is probably what I would have done (or spot metering but it's basically the same). You could have tried using some fill-in flash too Mark, to lighten up your pretty face whilst retaining the detail in the background
Here's one I took in Helsinki yesterday
Was actually taken with my mobile so couldn't change any settings, but I think it's okIf the world didn't suck, we'd all fall off!

Also how is this for a perfectly timed shot?

Though I haven't messed with all the various features yet, it's a capable little camera.
I can't agree that spending a lot of money is the answer to everything. Often people with high end cameras and either lack of understanding or poor judgement end up with photos just as bad as people with cheap cameras and better training or judgement. There is also a factor of luck involved in any really hard shot, as there is often no set rule.
My brother has a 5D and loads of expensive lenses. I have the money I could have spent on it, and still have plenty of great photos.
Here is a strange semi pan photo that happened when I was caught off guard and tried to still get a shot in. This was from the hip.
