That's certainly a no-brainer if you've got a G5 :-)

Just give me an okay grip with a sensibly placed shutter button!

This is actually a good product that many would find useful. The price is steep but, given that it's a first-generation product...

Because a small, dedicated camera doesn't offer computational photography so needs multiple shots and post-processing for a lot of shots that a recent camera phone will handle no problem.

Phones...

Oooh, APS-C with fixed 28mm lens and it's *tiny*

Phones have appalling ergonomics for photography. This solves that (for a price).

The price is too much for me too but I'd love better ergonomics on my phone, I'm just posting to say your "decent point and shoot" comment ignores the computational photography offered by mobile...

You're nearly there. The observation is based on *all* photographers and you just missed -or misunderstood- the term 'most'. When shooting sports I generally wanted the lens wide open (to make the ...

This is my thinking as well - most people that see my photos will probably be using an IPS phone screen. Following this thread with interest as looking at monitors now.

I'd be interested to see competing ideas that help explain how to get everything looking 'right' that are better but equally simple. I mean, I use the 'exposure triangle' method a lot and it ...

Agreed. Seems to be a sensible thing for a pro shooting things that would be impossible/expensive/difficult to re-shoot to use two card shots. I guess, like proper back ups, the people that poke ...

Thanks to a combination of Canon's good manuals, the wealth of information available on the Internet and the immediate feedback from digital, I learnt to operate the camera fast. What /really/ ...

Ha, I blame the alcohol :)  Thanks for the heads up.

To add to the previous replies, the superzoom 'bridge' cameras have much smaller sensors than the DSLR cameras. This means the lenses on the superzoom cameras can be much smaller for the same ...

Yep - I've now switched entirely to shooting raw then running them through Photolemur (after culling the shots). I'm still keeping the original RAW files as Photolemur does like to overcook things. ...

You only need a full frame body, four lenses and the associated post-processing equipment to win competitions. Got it.

Ah, right. So he was contrasting Canon's decision making process with the open and accountable processes used by most other manufacturers. Got it. Glad we've got that cleared up & sorry for the ...

Your minor is my significant chunk :-) What's the percentage contribution to the total operating profit from their photography business (I think their imaging side of things is just over a third)? ...

Sorry, you've misunderstood me. You said it was arbitrary. I was attempting to show their choice was not arbitrary (ie not chosen at whim/at random).

Oooh, the hatefor Canon is strong in you :-) It's not an "arbitrary" choice - the choice would have been carefully considered. In body image stabilisation on a DSLR was not as good at longer focal ...
