Re: Best Powershot G

Thanks Albert. That helps a lot. I have to hold the camera at, close to, arms length to see the screen, and even then I"m not so sure about focus. And arms length is not a very stable position for me. Sounds like an EVF is my only solution.

Hi Gerry,

Thank you VERY MUCH for this.

It sounds to me like the majour problem with the G series is the OVF, and a viewfinder is the majour reason that I'm looking at the G series, mostly to see if the image is in focus.

No compact camera OVF will help you with focusing. Full stop! That OVF is just a way to make sure camera is pointed in the right direction. No focus aids and pretty approximate framing.

I have a G15 and it's a lovely camera but as soon as I get to where critical focus is an issue I use the back screen. My dream would be a G17 with a proper EVF, but it will never happen.
