nikon D50 to Canon powershot G10

[HairyBeast]

Hi PH massive

i am thinking of selling my d50 kit (body, various lenses and so on), i wont bother you with details as this is not ebay. but i have a chance of a canon power shot g10 fairy cheap.

now i still want a decent camera (the slr is just to much kit to carry around nowdays)

any one have a g10 tell me if there any good i do like macro photography but not enought to keep carring a tripod slr and macro lens everywhere

thanks

That's the pink version, right?

Hairy, no idea on the G10 but PM me with details of your D50 kit, my Dad is on the look out for some new toys for his I think.

G10 is OK, ISO 400 and below I think, lens is Ok but not a massive zoom or very fast.

I had a G10 and sold it. Quality was OK, but it was still a compact with all the small-sensor limitations that brings, especially at higher ISO levels. As well as that, it was big enough that I might as well have taken an SLR as the G10 still doesn't fit in a pocket anyway.

Is the G10 really that much smaller than a D50 with a kit lens attached?

I have a D100 for sale. IMHO it has better colors, but is older. Only selling to buy myself Sony as I've been a Minolta user before Nikon.

G10 ? that thing definetely is no better than D50 unless you need something very compact.

hi

had a bit of a play with the G10 to be honest i get better results from the d50 with 60mm macro on

every shot i found the G10 to be very grainy (could just be my photography skills)

so im gonna stick with the old trusty for a bit

thanks anyway peeps

Good idea. A compact can't replace a DSLR (whatever the marketing people like to tell you).
