I have a G10....
Submitted by pwnell on Sun, 11/02/2008 - 14:54My Canon PowerShot G10 just arrived two days ago from my favourite retailer, B&H. So I took it out a couple of times and have some photos I'll upload soon. Here is one teaser so long... Straight from the camera - JPEG, no post processing.

Preliminary shootout results
Submitted by pwnell on Mon, 11/03/2008 - 01:15I did a very informal, technically incorrect shootout between the 5 cameras owned between myself and my wife and daughter. I tried to keep the basic stuff consistent - such as aperture and framing and distance to subject. But due to the nature of the cameras used it was not always possible. Also note that I left most processing on the default values everywhere. I did no special processing on any file.
Virtual world meets reality.... This is funny!

Change
Submitted by pwnell on Sun, 11/09/2008 - 16:43On my way to work in the morning, I used to drive past this boring house and boring green tree that really did not grab my attention. This was summer. So along came fall and the house is still boring and the tree even more boring. Until winter arrived. It seemed like all the other trees got the cue to shed their leaves, however this tree lagged behind them. Coupled with the brilliant white of the house behind it, a boring scene changed into something truly amazing. So I had to stop my car, get out and grab this shot.
Morning delight
Submitted by pwnell on Sun, 11/09/2008 - 17:00Every morning when I get out of the house on my way to work I am witness to some kind of magical sunrise. Problem is I am always in a hurry to get to work in time so I hardly have time to run back in to the house, set up my heavy artillery (1Ds Mark III) so usually I just shrug it off and go on my way.
When I got the Canon PowerShot G10, this all changed. Grabbing a shot is now as easy as taking the camera out of my jacket pocket and taking the shot. So here is one (less dramatic) example of what I used to miss out on.
