it true unless we are “detail freak”… picture quality print out from S90 are more/less to that of Panasonic DMC GF1…. so why pay more when you can get more for less…. And always kept in mind that in a few month time , new digital camera will be born…

Recently a friend of mine bought Canon S90… after days of taking several picture from various mode of days & places, i was so suprised the small Canon S90 were able to produce such an amazing picture quality ( nearly as good as Panasonic GF1 or Canon G11…!!!!!!)… I ask him how did he found out the capability of the Canon S90… he told me that Digital Photography Interface ( http://www.dpinterface.com ) is the only website that tell the TRUTH about digital cameras that are vailable on the market period…. Strange but true…

Yeah, i still like the G11 for it compact size, what i meant is we lose the “compact factor” if we use the GF1 with the 14-45mm lense

Now i m using the GF1 with the 14mm lense….. the “compact” is gone… If you still prefer the “Compact” use the GF1 with the 20mm lense

I own both Canon G11 & Panasonic GF-1. My suggestion is still the G11 ( better price=good picture) But if you are looking for more depth of field go for the GF-1. Both camera picture quality is almost the same unless you are Detail Freak

Nice post. Check your specs in the chart at the bottom for the G11: should be f/2.8-4.5 IS and a 2.8″ LCD I believe.

Getting big depth of field coverage with a DSLR, handheld, is indeed hard. Sure, a DSLR can catch fast action, but with a shallow depth-of-field, which doesn’t always cut it: okay for one kid running around inside the house, but not always covering the whole group of kids, unless you use the flash or stick to really wide-angle focal lengths.

And hey, not every landscape photographer can stand to be caught interchanging lenses while the light is changing.

Older compacts had very limited flexibility when you added up the ISO and aperture limitations, but the G11 seems to be showing that compact cameras can be used for serious photography and in certain contexts can be just as flexible as entry-level DSLRs.

I am in the process of selling my DSLR equipment so that I can buy a G11. Part of the reason is that as a parent I have lots of things to carry besides photo equipment.

I will appreciate the ISO and exposure dials on the top. And who needs a top LCD when the settings are already displayed by the positions of the dials?

I tried the manual focus on the G11 in store, and it seems quite usable, which is amazing for a compact. Having a really magnificent macro mode, with twist-and-flip LCD, once again trumps DSLRs in multiple ways for nature photography which is what I most want to do with it.

I did not want to spend the more $$ for the LX1, but would I be sorry? <– can't understand this.

What about selling the Nikons–are they worth anything used? <– yeah I think D80 and D40 price is still good in used market.

I still think that DSLR is better for shooting kids, because it is fast and responsive, however, if you insist of portability, I suggest Panasonic GF1, its auto focus is faster than compacts/
