I currently have a PowerShot G3, which actually has some nice features, and has pleased me well.
I'm considering to buy a 10D because I want to explore the photographing techniques even further.
I have, off course, read a lot of the threads about the focus issues, so please do not start that in this thread, when answering my questions.
1) My G3 often spends too long time to focus on a moving subject. It's in fact impossible to ever get a sharp lock on a subject moving (walking) towards me.
How much faster is the 10D compared to this?
I know the 10D has shutter release priority, forcing it to take the shot when the button is fully pressed, but how much faster is it to lock the focus?
2) I'm considering the 28-135 f/3.5-5.6 IS USM lens, as a lot of threads in the Lens Talk forum is recommending this as a great alround lens.
From the focus discussions it appears that certain lenses contribute more to the focus issue than others. In that respect how is this lens?
How is this lens compared to the G3 (please do not flame me for this question). I understand it will zoom further in (5x it appears), but will it also zoom further out? (The G3 is 7.2-28-8).
Even though the lens is f/3.5-5.6, will it allow me to take pictures with less DOF than the G3, which has f/2.0?
What macro lens would you suggest to this lens (if possible)? I like to photograph animals in the zoo or in the wild (as wild as it curretnly gets in Denmark) (I currently use the lens converter with 1.75x zoom extender on the G3).
Still learning the basics...
