The differences are insignificant apart from the 4X zoom which the
G3 has.
Many will prefer the G3 because of its perceived higher prestige -
bulls* t in my opinion. It's like guys who prefer to go for a very
expensive Porsche when a Mercedes saloon will do the job fine.
Bigger camera = ***** extension!
Come on, mark. Why get all worked up about it only to deceive
yourself?...the G series does offer some real advantages.
1) faster lens
2) Swivel LCD
3) Remote
4) built-in filters
5) the ability to add lenses/filters/external flash.
In the field of photography, which of these are
not important?
BTW, acording to your logic, I must really be hung since I'm
comfortable with my "no-extension" lowly S30.
BTW, your Porsche vs Mercedes comparison too funny. You list 2
competing luxury status-symbol items and say that the users of one
have a psychological hangup while the users of the other are
balanced. So...you're more a Mercedes saloon/S45 kind of guy than
those Porsche 911/G3 losers. lol
