buy g10 or g9? is it worth to buy G10 instead of G9?

I would love to know any comparisons of the G9 vs the G10 in shooting live concerts. I use my G9 for small club gigs as well as big rock concerts and while it's ok, there is a lot of noise in low-light situations requiring high ISO. But, I am concerned that the zoom not being as good on the G10 would make it moot. You can see some sample pictures on my site http://www.guitarvibe.comThanks--Zack

I just parallel tested my beloved G9 vs. my new G10 using a tripod; same subject, lighting, settings, modes, at ISO 80, 200, and 400. The 10 renders noticeably crisper and cleaner pics than my 9. Also, my G9 consistently produced images that were 10 to 15% on the dark side. The 10's exposures are spot on. I no longer have to jiggle with in-camera exposure comp for each image or take each one to Photoshop for correction. And I like the G10's much improved LCD, the wider angle lens, and better grip. I think you'd like the 10. I couldn't be happier with my purchase.

IF you can shoot close enough, a few find LX3 noise less ugly than G10 noise: http://www.dpreview.com/reviews/Q408enthusiastgroup/page11.asp

Don't know to be honest as I've never tried the G1N. Looking at the specs side by side though the G3 is miles ahead. A worth while investment I would say.

Mistake. I have both cameras and the Canon G9's photo quality can't hold a candle to the Nikon D40. Hopefully you'll still like your G9!

I do not own either but going by Son's info the G2 has a faster and quieter focusing motor. Check out dpreview.com for more info

I'm a prospective buyer for either a g7 or g9. The g7 does have a firmware hack for RAW. I wonder if this would change peoples' minds on the g7.

I have had several G series (G7 and G9) and am now working with the s90. Although these are earlier models of the ones you are looking at, the general pros/cons remain the same. The positive for the S90 is that it is great for low light (F 2.0 and in-between ISOs of 125 and 160).The bad news is that the image quality of the s90 is just not the same as the G series. Prints that are crops or over 24x30 inches have too much pixellation to be exhibited professionally. However, if you print at 8x10 inches or smaller, the s95 should be fine for you.As for me, I'm planning on returning to the G series with my next camera purchase.

It has fewer keys probably because of manufacturing costs. It is pretty common for a manufacturer to go through and cut costs when they create a v2 or v3 of anything. A lot of people are ticked about it because they bought it for the keys. If I didn't use the macro keys I certainly wouldn't have spent 80+ bucks on a keyboard. I could just use a $10 keyboard if I didn't need those. The G11 still has all the keys at least. No LCD on the G11 but I guess you can't have everything (since Logitech decided to cheap out on this).

Yeah, having it built in is well worth it. My excuse for buying a G73jh-a1 disappeared...but I sorta kinda haven't actually canceled my preorder yet :-D

I'm happy with my SX100, not familiar with the G9. SX100 doesn't have a rangefinder so that could be an issue for you. Uses SD cards and 2 AA's

I noticed the same thing. I think there is one vendor that is selling the G7 over $900. If you delve further into the Amazon system you will find that the G7 actually sells about $40 less than the newer model when you calculate shipping.

I never used a G600 but just by looking at comparison pictures of the two I would imagine it would be a lot easier to use the M95. I'm gradually increasing the number of buttons I am using with my thumb, so far I'm up to 5 okay with no real issues ergonomic wise.

There are differences in performance between the G7 and the G9 as a review of the posts will indicate. Because the G7 is discontinued, it is harder to get, and vendors price it higher. It's macro performance is faster and sharper than the G9. It's in-camera processing is somewhat better than the G9 as well. You can see both my reviews for the G7 and the G9 to decide for yourself which camera features you most need and want. For some users, the G7 will be the preferred choice and they will gladly pay more -- hence the vendors ability to charge more for leftover stock of discontinued cameras.

Go to KenRockwell.com for his reviews of both cameras. Rockwell thinks that the S90 is a tad better because of the super fast f/2.0 lens and a compact size that makes it easy to always have a camera with you. The G11 takes equally fine photos, but f/2.8 is not as useful for indoor photos without flash...and the larger size and heavier weight mean you probably won't carry a G11 with you 24/7.

Sorry I don't own the G230 so i cannot say. The reviews have been good for it for an entry level gaming headset. If you want to fork over a bit more cash I say go for the Logitech G35, which sounds amazing - voice quality wise and I'm sure comfort too. - My streamer uses it and I watch him daily.

These were my top two choices as well. I think they are both great cameras. I ended up getting the 950 because it is pocket-size, but they share many features actually. also, the G9 has more manual controls, it's for more professional type photos, not for just casual. I mean it could be for casual also, if you don't mind the bulkiness. But I think they are both good, it just depends on what you want to use it for.

I love the G20. I don't know of a feature I would use...that it doen't have. Great camera. I record mostly high school wrestling and football. They have very different lighting. On auto mode they both look great.

The base G500 had problems that the G500s has, in my experience, corrected. Especially regarding the mouse-wheel/middle-mouse button problem. Still not as good as the G5, but it's worked well for me so far.
