Compact Digital cameras – Which get the best pictures that can compare to an SLR?
I want a top quality compact digital camera. I’d love to go the SLR route but then I know I wouldn’t carry it with me because of the size. I’ve been looking at the Canon G9 or G10.
I understand the quality of the lens is most important. A good optical zoom and large viewing screen are needs too. I sometimes take videos but that’s not overly important. My budget can stretch if the quality is there.
I’ve been to multiple web sites but it’s somewhat like comparing apples to oranges.
Can you suggest some specific models that might fir the bill?
I looked up the Canon Powershot G10 and considered some of the specs, and I believe I may be able to help you out here.
When looking for a compact digital camera (non-digital SLR) that will mirror the function of a more expensive DSLR, you should look for the following features: Manual control, megapixel count, the size of the image sensor, and advanced picture-writing formats. And do keep in mind, that the size of the image sensor effects image quality just as much as the megapixel count does.
I’ve glanced at the Canon Powershot G10. I currently shoot with a Nikon D60, and even though I have loyalties to Nikon, if I were ever to spend my money on a compact digital camera, it would be the G10. Full manual control, coupled with the ability to write photographs in RAW format makes the Powershot G10 as close to a DSLR as compact digital cameras probably come. The three-inch LCD display on the G10 is even larger than the one on my D60. Image stabilization is not necessary, but can be a great help in a few rare situations. Also, the G10 has a hot shoe adapter for mounting speedlights- a must if you really want to expand your creativity. And keep in mind that the G10 utilizes Canon’s DIGIC 4 processor, which is used in four of their high-end digital SLR cameras. And lastly, let’s not forget that 14-megapixel sensor.
