The Canon G10 has a different lens than the G9 even though it looks the same!
|
Canon Powershot G10 Focal Length 6.1 - 30.5 mm |
Both cameras also have "digital zoom" I don't use that and you shouldn't us it either
enough said about that!
Left The Canon G9
Coverage at its widest lens setting.
That according to Canon
corresponds to 35mm on a "Full frame" camera
Left The Canon G10
Coverage at its widest lens setting.
That according to Canon
corresponds to 28mm on a "Full frame" camera.
Almost wide angle and much
more useful for landscape
and Cityscapes photography
than the 35mm G9 :0)
This could be my argument
to get the G10 over the G9!
Left The Canon G9
Coverage at its longest
tele lens zoom setting.
That according to Canon
corresponds to 210mm on
a "Full frame" camera.
Can be useful if you can't
get close enough but I
rather chose the wide angle
of the G10 (I just wish the G10 was
even wider).
Left The Canon G10
Coverage
at its longest
tele
lens zoom setting.
That according to Canon
corresponds to 140mm on
a "Full frame" camera.
Actually good enough for
most cases where this
camera will be used at least
for me and there is also
possible to attach a tele
converter for those rare
cases when you need it!
In the ISO/noise test I could spot signs of that the
G10 was slightly sharper, I might be wrong but the
shorter zoom range of the G10 lens might have
improved the sharpness over the G9.
But as an engineer I feel that it could also be the
other way, in other words I feel that the G9 actually
should be the one with the sharpest lens since the
G10 has a more complex built lens 11 vs 9 elements
involved in the optical path.
Anyhow I'm not an optician guy sooo...
