Personally, I like the idea of a small camera instead of the large, heavy pieces one is "supposed" to have as a photographer. I've been looking at getting something that doesn't weigh me down while I'm out and about. I'm small, I have small hands -- I disappear behind the big ones. The G7 might be a good option.

My partner has a 5D, too, and he's asked me to pick between the new G9 and an EOS Rebel XTi... would you be so kind as to weigh in on the debate? (My post, with my pros and cons, is here: http://www.gastronomie-sf.com/2008/02/who-wants-to-gi.html) Thanks!! Hey Lara -

David L pointed me here in response to a post I up today regarding a camera choice.

My partner has a 5D, too, and he’s asked me to pick between the new G9 and an EOS Rebel XTi… would you be so kind as to weigh in on the debate?

It's a nice size... a bit bigger than other P&Ss, but still not massive... and takes great photos. If you want something with more control, but aren't ready to go to a DSLR, it's a good choice. There is a new version coming out though that adds the support for Raw files back in. I think it's the G9... so you might want to check for that one. -L We still love the G7.

You really hit the nail on the head. I'm looking to upgrade from my p&s (for my food blog) without any training/ technical knowledge in photography. I've become frustrated with how limited the possibilities are with what I have now. I'd love to ask if you'd say the G7 is still the way to go? Since several months have passed, I just wanted to double check whether - to your knowledge - anything else in this category has come out. Many thanks in advance for your time and thoughts.

For low light situations I use a Fujifilm F30 P&S with a max ISO setting of 3200 with quite acceptable noise levels. It, too, offers manual mode with aperture and shutter priority settings so I can usually select a suitable setting between my mode dial and menu options. I recently purchased a new Panasonic FZ8 that gives me all the features of my older FZ20 but with the added ability to shoot RAW. However, I must admit today I read a news release about the new Fujifilm Fine Pix s8000fd with an 18X zoom, image stabilization, manual settings options, and a max ISO-setting of 6400. I think I'm in love! I photograph museum exhibits rather than food but I must shoot in ambient light without flash or tripod so the conditions are pretty demanding.

Check out Olympus. I have both a E330 DSLR and Olympus c-4000 zoom P&S. I really like both especially my new E330. It has features that Canon and Nikon do not yet. Live view automatic cleaning of the sensor every time you turnit on. Canon and Nikon are not the only makers of good cameras. Check out Olympus. I have both a E330 DSLR and Olympus c-4000 zoom P&S.

I have been struggling with an old point and shoot for a while but am baffled by the huge array of cameras available. I am keen to learn how to use manual features but I do not want to carry a DSLR around, the G7 has been on my shortlist for a long time now and I think it might be my final choice so thanks!
