How was the Stars meet? Steve said it was a decent turnout. Sister came home unexpectedly so we went out for dinner.

compact, can use all the same relative equipment (i.e. speedlites, lenses, triggers, slaves, etc etc), shoots video, simplicity of not having to buy a certain lens to get a certain effect (i.e. having to go out and buy a 200mm zoom lens for a dslr vs having built in zoom on the camera body.

i hate digital zoom.
I pretty impress with G10 stock lens range.

Purple All Sectors · 10-31-2008, 03:36 AM

You can change the lens on the G10?

haha yea digital zoom is a lot different then actual zoom, but its just so dam handy. I mean if you want to snap a photo and need zoom, sometimes you dont have time to whip out your camera bag and swap lenses.

u ain't goin' get same quality pics like 3rd shot on Mike's sig

Purple All Sectors · 10-31-2008, 03:38 AM

English bro, I dont know much about cameras.

FrankiE90 · 10-31-2008, 03:40 AM

u can change lens on G10.
it's a snap on lens from canon.
it goes over existing lens.

Purple All Sectors · 10-31-2008, 03:40 AM

What about Sony Cyber-shot DSC-H50 (Black) or Canon PowerShot S5 IS?

Purple All Sectors · 10-31-2008, 03:41 AM

These cameras were rated 1 and 2 on CNET.com

LOLrance · 10-31-2008, 03:42 AM

G10 = small and compact DSLR minus a few function and features. If you need the extra control that a DSLR offers, opt for that. But for most, a G10 is more then capable of everything they will want it to do.

Purple All Sectors · 10-31-2008, 03:43 AM

What are the G10 competitors? And would you consider them? Can I put a fisheye lens on the G10?

FrankiE90 · 10-31-2008, 03:44 AM

wide or telephoto.
ur not going get same quality as an independent lens but it comes close.
the DSLR chips have better processing, it'll handle low light way better, than G10. Trick I've been doing for low light is/are Tripod shots at ISO 80 w/ a 10/15 sec exposure. Longer exposure will suck in all available light while maintain all the true blacks.

LOLrance · 10-31-2008, 03:46 AM

Hey Mike, are there any outlets in the garage at Fontana? I wanna bring my laptop and do the same idea that you said since my digi cam can only record 22mins as well.

Purple All Sectors · 10-31-2008, 03:49 AM

Yeah theres outlets. I usually bring a portable table and chair to chill. Frank are you coming out to check it out?
