Dec 20, 2007

Rating: 9 out of 10 (Spectacular)
Pros: easy to hold, user friendly, versatile,adapable, rugged, reliable and fun to use
Cons: no date stamp on front lower right corner imprinted automatically
Opinion:
I have owned a number of P and S digicams in the past, including 3 very nice ones ( olympus SD350-- Canonm A710is--and Panasonic DMC TZ-3) and a passle of poor performers by Kodak, HP, and others...I have graduated to the ultimate FINAL choice for me ,because I feel comfortable with it and it has all I can ask for in a P and S digicam.. The technology advancements in digicams proceed at a rapid pace..Improvements, upon improvements are the hallmarks of Digicam manufacturers.

There are better choices at lower prices.

Oct 4, 2007

Rating: 5 out of 10 (Average)
Pros: has raw ability compare to G7. Slightly bigger sensor compare to G7. Hot shoe is a plus point but how many consumers is really going to fork out that much extra for it.
Cons: still the king of red lines.
Opinion:
So much people talk about noise level. Sure is slightly better than panasonics and much better than most. But Canon with their latest G9 still has Red Lines issues. Pictures thou has better noise control at ISO 400 compare to Panasonic LX-2 but is not as sharp in details.

Their minimum shutter is still a real let down only 15 sec still. Does not make a good night scenc camera.

View wise still at 35mm when others are going in the direction of 28mm.

Pictures taken at night without flash aid gives very un-natural colors.

Panasonic's LX-2 is any time better when comparing pictures up close.
