Re: Canon G10 Revisited

The G10 still does have one more dial on the exterior,

Unfortunately its a useless one - no one would crank the ISO on a G10 unless totally desperate

and better macro performance too.

That`s not saying much - the lack of Macro ability in the G1x is tiresome at best - I guess that`s the price for squeezing a near-APS-C sensor plus a lens which is tack sharp edge to edge end to end wideopen into a casing not a lot bigger ..

as for bulk, the G10 is big enough for the size diff not to make a meaningful difference - once a cam gets bigger than an S90/P330/G7X/RX100 then anything up to large mirrorless may as well be the same size , they all need a large coat pocket..

but I`d not take anything away from the G10 - what amazed me was that few actually seem to get the fact that the resolution diff between it and the G11/12 was massive in RAW or JPG and the later cams only gained at ISOs which you`d not willingly use any of them at anyway ... it`s OK saying "Look how much better the G15 is at ISO1600" but who`d actually want to use one at that ISO when there are far better alternatives around in similar sized packages .
