Re: Just got another SX50

In case you missed it there was a recent post in open forum about older cameras, and I suggested maybe we could get a forum for vintage (criteria to be established) camera forum to include all manufacturers, the only criteria being the vintage, or classic, or whatever designation. there seemed to be some interest, but doubt it will happen. But I would love such a forum.

Another one I`d re-try is the G10 , IMO by far the best in that series - that maligned (by reviewers , not users) 15Mp sensor was fantastic in RAW  in Capture one and gave a big increase over the supposedly newer and better G11/12 and even the G16 because the G10 had 5 (or 3 with the G16) more Mp so not only the most detail , but was the sharpest too (guessing no AA filter) and the 14Mp RAW files weren`t much if any noisier than the G12 when resized down to the same size . Very very underrated camera which stands up today and handles far better than the G7X/5X Mk2 / RX100 series and carries a proper battery (same as the SX50 and G1X Mk1 )

Shame is that most of that series suffered scratched front elements due to the poor design of the lens cover . finding an unscratched G10 in nice nick will be a challenge.
