G7 Article in NY Times 10/5/06

Go to last post
Learned anything about the G7 from th is article?

Just a re-hash of a press release.
 
From the article...

"A new image processor, the Digic III, can capture low-grain pictures at I.S.O. 1600, ideal for dim scenes and fast action. "

It looks like something that Canon told them to print. Only time will tell if a 10 megapixel 1/1.8" sensor can really produce "low-grain pictures" when nobody else using this same sensor can do it.

Here we go again! More ranting about a camera no one has held or owns!

Bob,

I said "Only time will tell...". How is that ranting? Nobody knows until the camera is released whether ISO 1600 will actually be useable. We do have several current cameras released from Canon (and others) that advertise ISO 800 and up and most are not useable.

Why does the NY Times, one of the world's best papers, print this asinine glop? Better to keep one's mouth closed and be thought a fool than open it and remove all doubt...
 
agree with others here - did the NY Times got a bit of cash to print this? (or is it just laziness? sure it's easy to rehash a press release I guess) - I've noticed this quite a bit over the last 12 months with this paper. Probably why I tend to cross reference any NY Times resource I come across these days.

Because it's pretty obvious by now that the NY Times is no longer one of the worlds's best papers. They've been stung badly so many times in the last several years that it's a wonder anyone reads it any more.

My, My, What's the problem? It's just a general announcement type article, not a camera review. The nyt is still one of the world's best newspapers. What's your choice, The New York Post, USA Today, or the Washington Times?

LOL. I agree. New York Times is a good newspaper, if you actually read the news in it and the editorials.

I've seen pictures taken at all posiible ISO from G7 .. I will rant whenever I want, and want do so very very much.
 
It is really becoming extremely pathetic.

Every time somebody has the courage to say something positive about the G.7, a whole crowd of always the same G-7 haters fall right over him and nobody has ever touched this camera, exept the few who might have seen it at the past Photokina.

People, wake up. By now we know your objections by memory; wait till the reviews and do not come with the allegation that the reviewers will be biassed in favour of Canon.

I'm buying the G7 when it's available. If I'm offending someone, let me know.

I'm leaving now. If I promise not to buy the G7 until the first of
the year, can I come back in. Or just mentioning that I'm going to
buy it makes me suspect.

No, that's fine. You could also BUY the G7 and then come back and post a message saying "You folks were so right; it's a piece of junk!"

But seriously...if I had to guess, I would say that the G7 will turn out to be a fine camera given its features and capabilities. The disappointment comes from considering what it COULD have been. It all seems to be the result of cynical marketing decisions made by Canon to make sure that no single digicam has all the desirable features (fold-out LCD, wide angle zoom, RAW).
