Recommended Posts

I had the g4 and now the G9

I miss the flip screen which allowed waist or above head shots the G4 also used the same batteries as the canon DSLR's which made life easier and lasted longer. It also had a faster lens. Would like to see the Flip Screen and faster and wider lens mainly

I've been looking at the G9 for a while but haven't been able to pull the trigger. But now the news of the Lumix LX3 is very interesting. Due out in August for US$499. Appealing stats - f2.0 24-60mm Summicron lens, bigger sensor but spread over the same 10Mp, 16x9, 4x3 & 3x2 all native, not cropped, hot shoe, etc. Lots of nice features it sounds like you folks would be interested in.

Not too long ago we bought cameras to go out and shoot with . We did not go through these phantas-magorical

exercices of thinking about a new mode that woul have 5 more functions. I own a lot of Canon G7, 5D,40D,MKIIIDs,

all of them are obsolescent....but they are tools to get great images with. If you want an investment but T-Bills or

IBM.. Grow up guys & gals !

I hope that the G10 doesn't look like the new PowerShot SX110 IS. I like the compact design of the G9. It's small enough

to fit into your pocket...no protrusions.

 

I hope the G10 uses a CMOS sensor, and has a faster lens. I also hope that it captures HD video.

 

I currently own a 10D, it's still great overall, but want a sophisticated point-and-shoot with pro capabaility. Once I have a

g10, then I'll go for the 50D or 60D body.

I have a G13 it said it was a G13 anyway .It wispered to me " hey you poor sap are go going to buy me or are you going to wait for the g14" its on the book case shelf at my home next to the Kodak 133 instamatic.

Although glass quality is VVV important a picture is only as good as the person,s capabiltiy who is looking thru the lens.I have a G9 as well as 40 D and a GREAT TIME MACHINE BEATER NIKON FM2 that if you throw against the wall will still work.

Stop chasing model numbers and pixels

I've had many of the Canon G series cameras beginning -- would you believe -- the G1, which felt like a brick and heated up quickly...As it turned out, the G2 came out a week after I bought the G1 and they let me trade it in. I loved that camera especially the rotating viewfinder...Since then, I've bought the G3, the G6, and the G9 (my current camera). I use them with studio lights to photograph large groups (mostly gymnastic and dance groups). The quality has been excellent and the camera is easy to use...Originally, I was looking at a Nikon but I found the Canon more intuitive and easy to figure out...even without looking at the manual...As well, in the summer of 2003, I bought the 10D for around $2400.00 Canadian as well as the motor drive grip...I still use that camera but it only has 6.3 megapixels... I'm now looking seriously at purchasing the G10, since the price has come down so much... I remember paying about $1175.00 Canadian for the G6!
