Re: Nothing quick about G series cameras......their talent is elsewhere...

The G10 can handle just about anything else and assume your G12 probably can too.

What specifically are you trying to capture with the G12?

G series are great cameras, but in my experience, they are not the fastest things around. : ) Enjoy them for for what they do well, break out the DSLR for everything else.

Hi Quicksilver

I can pick my G12 (or my G1X)...turn it on as I pick up...at same time press shutter, composing same time...four seconds! From first touch of camera, to finished taking of image (including auto-flash)...just 4 seconds (3.7 seconds actually). Reckon I could knock of another half second if I tried.

If anyone needs faster response photography...well they want their heads read!

OTOH..I can understand the frustration with shutter lag..and following speedy things...etc...DSLR please!

cheers Dave S
