Hi everyone,
I'm pretty close to ordering this camera and just wanted to get peoples thoughts. I've had a DSLR before that broke and although i loved it and it took some great shots i find them to be just too bulky.
After looking at the Canon G10 & Nikon P6000 i've decided to go for the G10. The P6000 has GPS which is a great feature but you lose out on other functions that the G10 can do much better.
Just wondered if anyone has this camera and could offer some input, even some good deals about anywhere, i'm trying to be cheeky and catch one for around the £300 if possible.

I'm after thoughts on the actual G10 rather than suggestions for something completely different.

Cheers MWEB,
I'm just looking around for a good deal now, was tempted by a good price for the G9 earlier in the week but think it's worth paying the extra for the G10.

My EOS 650 is still strong, even now that it's starting its 20th year of service!
If the quality standards are still up to what they were back then, you can't go wrong!

I wanted to get the g10 but after reading that comparison and other review i'm gonna get the LX3. |

G series is all about feel, you could honestly knock nails in with them, that inspires confidence.

It's called a Bridge, and is a perfectly accepted form factor for a camera.

The pictures that it can produce and the quality is more than adequate for what i want which is for holidays, i don't want to be carrying around a DSLR although i'll more than likely get the 450D at a later date.

450D is excellent.
Btw, if you werent so hell-bent on getting a Canon, the Sony T700 is a pretty amazing point and shoot camera
