Buy A Digital Camera

hope they keep 10MP for the G12.

@jaibobs108 I think that the G11 would be better choice. Personally, I think that 10MP is good enough for someone who just wants to shoot pictures and even for prosumers for that matter. 14.7MP is definitely an over kill. (In fact, I feel that anything about 12MP is overkill). This is because the quality of the picture will not be affected too much unless you are developing the photos in sizes greater than A3.

damn, hes married.

@jaibobs108 There isn’t a simple answer. The G10 has higher resolution, so capable of resolving slightly more detail in good light. But the G11 has a lower pixel density, which means lower noise and better quality in lower light. On the whole I think this is more useful more often than a marginal resolution increase which is only relevant at high magnification, so I’d pick the G11.

can someone please tell me, in picture quality, is the g11 better than the g10? which one would you recommend? Thanks.

I hav that camera and I love it I got it like 2 days ago it is awsome I think that if Iose it I will get lost [NH].

The perfect camera>> small >> tons of manual buttons and side hinge tilting LCD screen>> if only it did HD video at least 720p I will wait for the G12 and hopefully they will add HD video and not change anything else..

@vichiousfishes This camera, and any DSLR for that matter, is not marketed for people who just want to take pictures. Most people who want simple don’t even know about this camera.

The problem with this function-rich camera is that it is too complicated compared to a DSLR. It was bought as a back up to my Canon 5D MkII, for situations where a DSLR is too bulky. But the G11 has proved to be awkward to use and complex. There is a 90+ page manual (which proves the point) but it’s supplied on disc, which is crazy. If I could carry a laptop I wouldn’t need this camera !

Who the heck is that in the background? It’s friggin annoying. lol

“just 10 megapixels”. That’s still too much on such a small sensor if you ask me. But at least it’s a step in the right direction.

I am looking at getting a G11. I am looking at a few others too. But I am impressed with this camera.
I was wondering how the RAW shooting was with it? Does it do a lot better that Jpg on a compact?
How is the software that comes with it?

Thanks,

Was referring to Fischer’s comment about how this is ‘basically a DSLR without the ability to change camera lenses’. G11 sensor is a tiny fraction of the size of a DSLR. It is same size as G10 and a bit larger than most other point and shoot. But it’s by no mean comparable to DSLR sensors.

The G11 has fewer megapixels than the G10, but the sensor size is the same. This means larger pixels (sensors) which have a better signal to noise ratio than the smaller pixels, resulting in better image quality.

is there money in advertising this way?

The G9 is much better in video work and the pictures are sharper.

And much smaller sensor. But still, it perform brilliantly despite having such disadvantages. I can’t put mine down.

Time for a manicure, my good friend.

the price is high. the video modus is very bad. no hd an no stereo. for make pictures is good.

just bought one great camera worth the full price 450 at best buy on sell
feels robust and is made out of aluminum takes pics alot faster than a normal point and shoot although it is by know means as fast as even a entry level dslr but it will get you by until you have the cash

i have just bought 1, my freind bought it, 2 weeks later i gave him 200 pound for it, bargain

I have just bought my G11 few days back…..it is like carrying a SLR around with much less weight….ideal for travelling…

Good point about ‘behaving differently around a dslr’ – very true.

Sorry, I accidentally hit the negative rep, when i meant to hit positive!

I got my G11 in the other day and I LOVE it. The picture quality is amazing compared to other point and shoots!

I actually thought it was a good price for all the manual controls it has. It’s basically a DSLR without the ability to change camera lenses.
