Just to be different, I'm leaning towards the Canon lineup of cameras.
After reading my 'bible', the Consumer Report December issue, I had
pretty well settled on the PowerShot A650IS but after handling the camera
in a store..(felt cheap) and finding out that it is a 2007 model (not in
the current lineup), I'm thinking again.

I'm leaning towards the G10 top of the line compact rather than the Rebel
SXI DSLR. (lower level SLR)
Although the price difference between them isn't that much ($250.00 CDN)
unless you add a telephoto lens, the convience of the smaller, lighter
G10 might make up for the weakness of the much smaller processer to
handle dim light conditions and noise at 400 ISO or higher.
The G10 is slower also, so not the greatest for fast action sports.
Does anyone here own a G10....... or at least seriously tried it out?


My wife has a Canon A710 I got for her as a gift. It has a wide to tele
lens, and takes lovely photos. I believe it has been replaced by an A720.
The G10 is many steps up from that one. It's got a high megapix sensor,
and there's even a waterproof case accessory.

How much "fast acton sports" photography do you do, anyway?
