Re: Image Quality: Is newer better?

Hi Joe,

Image quality?.......simply put, no...not noticeably better. I bought a G11 just before my A610 died and was able to do some comparisons......only after careful scrutinizing of the corners of 100% crops at ISO100 did I observe a slight difference of contrast and sharpness.

However, the big difference was in being able to consistently nail shots I couldn't even attempt before.........the features, i.e., IS, high ISO, AF, resolution, build, etc., were greatly improved.......
