Power of the G10

Photobucket

This Christmas my lovely girlfriend Katrina was blessed with a Canon G10.

This thing is a BEAST.

-14.7 Megapixels
-Better 3 inch screen than my 40D
-Great battery life (lasted for the little photo shoot only after a quick five minute charge)
-Superb image quality at low ISO
-Insane depth of field
-Takes my 580EX on it's hotshoe
-Excellent body build

Although we were contemplating between this and the Panasonic LX-3 we went with the Canon due to the sturdier body. It also had an overall better feel to it when taking pictures. Not too long ago Luminous Landscapes did an article comparing the $40,000 39 megapixel Hasselblad H2 and the $450 15 megapixel Canon G10 at lower ISOs. What they found was unbelievable. The images compared side by side on a computer monitor were basically identical without in depth zooming. They even printed the pictures 13x19'' and still had a hard time discerning between the two.

And after these pictures I took with the camera, Katrina and I couldn't argue for a better compact camera. Plus that brick just oozes sexy.

Would you recommend the Powershot G10 over a cheaperish DSLR like, say, a Rebel XSi?

It really depends on what you are looking for Pat. No matter what the XSi will give you a better image quality in all situations (especially with it's use of interchangeable lenses) whereas the G10 only shines in bright daylight. If you need more information you're more than welcome to IM me.
