with wide angle and zoom and a real viewfinder. I hate those screens in the back. As you can see, I
am not at all into digital, but I am willing to learn. All my friends make fun of me because I have
stayed with film. The Canon powershot G10 sounds good and the price is right. No one mentioned the
weight of this camera. Help!

Hello.
First, sorry because my english is bad.
Well, talking about G10 I’m very dissapointed with the samples that I find in different reviews about
this camera. I was waiting with a big ilusion that arrived to the market and wait months and
months… and now I think that Canon it has wasted a tremendous opportunity since they had a lot of
information of what professional people, amateur really wanted and initiate and she has paid remiss
attention at most important that was to substitute the sensor for one of more size or not to increase the
megapixels so much or to install a CMOS. I only believe that survives the angular topic of the great
one. All the pictures that I have seen, even in ISO 80, have a lot of noise. I find better the sample
images of the G9. What it hurts, I have had three cameras followed Canon and Canon forces me to
change mark to be too superb and to wait that every year we buy a small novelty. No, I won’t follow
that game.

Why oh why didn’t Canon put a better sensor in there? I agree that the marketing people must have
won the battle. Megapixels really aren’t where it’s at. It’s what you do with the megapixels you have.
I would love to have a small pocketable camera that shoots raw to suppliment my 40D & 50D when I
want to travel lite. Perhaps Canon will listen to the pros and semi- pros and put out a G11 that will
satisfy us. It’s clear they are trying to target that market but then the consumer marketing folks step in
and say “Cram some more pixels in there”. I’d rather have a 10mp sensor that shoots clean at 800
than 14.7 that starts going downhill at 200.

Firstly to let readers know I own both a DSLR and Canon G9, so can understand many of the grips
some people have on the Canon G series. I think its is unfair to judge this camera against DSLR’s,
keep or buy a DSLR if you can’t see the benefits of a G series!!
However one area I do agree with is the noise and sensor issue, this would vastly improve photo’s and
improve the point and click scenario’s which to me seems very much where this camera is aimed.
The G series is a compact camera with a fantastic set of features not matched anywhere else (in
compacts), lets celebrate this and not request bulking it up with rotating screens etc. If anything, Sony
should be looking at sqeezing what little space they have left inside the product to reduce size, cost
reduce and making their manuals more user friendly, so more people can benefit and ‘learn’ the
pleasures of photography. It’s so frustrating seeing so many people with cheap compacts taking
