The G5 is a very good purchase.

3x (optical) is pretty standard. do not look at digital zoom. that's a no no. it's software that "blows" up the image. You can do the same effect in Photoshop.

the problem is that cams with less MPs generally have less zoom...or dont they?

Re:: Digital Cameras .....

so..are you gonna buy the G6

To be frank, I am not sure. I went to play with one yesterday, and yet they did not have one in stock. It's a beautiful camera, all Canons are.

I might get a G5 just because they will be dirt cheap. It's only 5 megapixel, but like I said I am going to wait for the x3 technology to come out and drop a bundle of money.

how about manual settings on that sony?

Re:: Digital Cameras .....

i'm glad this topic came up.

Cannon eh? I was looking as sony's and cannons.

any advice on this puppy for under $500?



5.1mp ... 3x digital zoom....2.5in display.

i like it because it's small.

For that $$ is a Cannon that much better?

I Highly recomend you this Sony Cybershot. Very compact, great LCD display, 5.1 Mpx. This is a great choice. It cost USD 399 @ best buy or circuit city

SLR are super nice, but not worth the money, unless of course you have it. The technology is not there yet, so if you have the bucks go ahead and drop it. I will buy an SLR when Foveon X3 technology is perfected ... still very new. Here is a link if you are interested ... http://www.foveon.com/X3_tech.html. So what is so special asdf? Well, it's the closest effect you will get to a film type camera. It still needs years to evolve and become a standard. Some cameras in todays market use it (Sigma). There are some sample pictures, yet I have looked at some others which are just fucking asdf_woot_woot great.

so..are you gonna buy the G6? Do you have a camera right now?

yeah thanks also for posting about that new technology..it seems very promising.
