Hey all...I'm looking to get a P&S....I'm a semi retired pro so most of my shooting is done in the manual mode....I wont be doing a huge amount of low light stuff but I still would like to be able to get usable 8x10's in the iso 400-800 range when needed. Being able to capture in the raw format is pretty high on my list but not a deal breaker for a great camera with everything but raw. I would like to be able to make larger than 8x10's when the need arises but no need for billboard stuff...so I'm thinking at least 8mp.
These are the three I've been kinda looking at... Canon G10......Canon SX10 IS... Lumix FZ28K.....I've shot Canon gear pretty much my whole life...I like Canon stuff but am open minded. So, if anyone would care to give me some first hand input on these three cameras or any other that fits my needs that would be great.
Thanks in advance, George
Out of the three it would be the G10, the only Lumix I would look at getting would be the new LX3. But between both that and the G10, I couldn't bring myself to paying $400 and over on a P&S, no matter how nice it's just a P&S. I had a G9 for less than two months and sold it, but there's a need for a P&S.
I found two month old S5IS on ebay for about $200. I'm not impressed with Canon's new mega MEGApixel P&S's.
