Are you saying Sony’s a900 sensor beats the 5DII’s sensor? That is laughable, the a900 can barely do an image without noise above iso 200.
Thing is, you have to explain to the hobbyists that more mp does not equal more quality.
I know, and that’s why Canon hasn’t reduced MPs yet on any camera successor … so here’s to the possibility that they might bite the bullet and change tack with this one. I think word is spreading though, all of my non-photography friends have recently commented that they have heard that more MP doesn’t equal better pictures. now it’s just a question of making them understand why that’s true. that just takes some smart marketing
I agree, the G10 is not a pocket cam, but it is still somewhat compact. At least compared to a 24-120 lens, equivalent to an EF-S 15-75. The EF-S 17-85 is not really small.
But an EP1-like camera with interchangeable lenses and a few nice and new pancake lenses would be great!
It depends on how well the collapsible lens is made – it might be huge telescoping out when the camera turns on, but when it collapses down into the body when shut off it should be only slightly larger than the G10. There’s no mount system to bulk it up.
