Re: Best Powershot G

Hi Jim,

I have an FZ150 right now, which is about the same size as the SX50 (according to Camera Decision), has an EVF and takes good pictures. What I'm looking for is something more compact than the FZ150; but since EVFs are only in the more expensive compact these days, I may be asking too much for the amount I"m willing to spend. I just bought an old Kodak Z1012 which has an EVF and takes pretty decent pictures, so I think I'll give it a good try.

Thanks very much for your help.

I'm thinking about getting a Powershot G. I have several cameras now, but I really miss the viewfinder, and feel that the Powershot G is my best bet for a good affordable camera. I want to spend $100 or less, and am not sure which ones is best. Kijiji seems to have several in that range topping out around the G10 (for my price range). I suppose I could spring for a few dollars more if the general consensus is a G11 or G12. I like the EVF, but don't care if an OVF handles the full zoom (8x or more). I don't do much scenery, mostly objects (some far away) and macros. Can anyone recommend a camera meeting my specs. I am open to other than Powershot recommendations.

Thanks ......

It's going to cost you a few more dollars but I'd suggest that you look for a good condition used SX50HS. It's one of the most versatile PowerShots available and will take care of your near and distance shots very nicely.

...just a thought.
