This is one of my favorite pictures that I've taken and I've shot with the G10, Nikon F100, and Nikon D700. G10: http://farm3.static.flickr.com/2614/...813168fc_z.jpg The Photographer by Gilmatic, on Flickr |

It's not an SLR and you can't treat it as such. Writing such a long post just because it's not as good as your SLR makes you look irresponsible for not knowing that you were essentially downgrading. There is definitely a bit of a shutter lag but that's what you get when you shoot with a point and shoot...
Comparing a PowerShot G series pro-sumer point and shoot to a SLR is comparing apples and oranges. Here's the timing I had with SLRs http://farm6.static.flickr.com/5270/...2077a710_b.jpg The ball-on-bat photo is one of the toughest in sports photography. One of the most rare is the broken bat. I got both :) Oh, and this wasn't done with rapid fire 8fps shooting. 8fps isn't fast enough to catch this. Single shot is the only way. EDIT: I could almost get a ball on bat photo at will (assuming the batter made contact, haha). Here's another: http://a.espncdn.com/media/mlb/2005/...lmeiro_275.jpg Featured here: http://sports.espn.go.com/mlb/column...ter&id=2109524 |
totally awesome!
Still hated the **** out of the G11. My fault for expecting SLR performance out of it? sure. i only got it because i had the d700 and wanted a 'companion point and shoot.' which is what the g11 is highly lauded for... turns out what i really wanted was an M9. |
Freaking awesome shot, carleton!

I understand why someone would want to go with monochrome vs. color, I just don't like it when it's digital. I have seen some good digital black and what photos, but for the most part they're garbage. Maybe one day I'll like it.

The reason why people *love* film so much is because of the quality of the grain. You can put a high quality film in a crap camera and still get nice grain texture in the print/scan.
With digital, your "film" is directly tied to the camera that you buy. So, the key is to buy a nicer camera that comes with a nicer sensor (film) then you will get much nicer digital noise (grain).

If you have an iPhone, that has a great camera in it. I think an SLR is probably the worst camera to start with. They are expensive and bulky. They get left home a lot.
The best camera is the one you have with you. The smaller, the better. Disclaimer: I'm a former professional photojournalist and sports photographer. I've used everything from pocket cameras to 400mm f2.8 and lots in-between. My favorite photos are the ones that were taken with small basic cameras. |

The smaller the better, that way you will have it with you more often. One of the things I didn't like about the Canon G10 was that it was bulky. Lots of great features, but tough to put in pants pocket. Jacket yes, pants no. It's a great learning tool, though because it has manual mode. This is why I liked the Ricoh GR. It easily fit in jeans. http://www.usa.canon.com/cusa/consum...owershot_a1200 |

Yeah... I love shooting with my SLRs and Leica, but I don't always want to carry them. I like a nice pocket camera in my stash..ever since my Olympus Stylus Epic died, i've been thinking of getting one of these for my jeans pocket... or I might just get another epic..

meh, I like my G10, fits nicely into my handlebar bag when touring.

The lag isn't to bad, I have an old Canon SD750, and I can time pictures perfectly with it. It lags exactly the same every single time, so i never miss a shot. I can time with it almost as well as on my SLR, you just have to think ahead a little.

My dad actually gave me a camera he bought a few years ago, a Canon SX100 IS. Anyone have experience with this?
