Hello, all.
I have been taking photographs since before Jack Ketch invented the cable release and digital since 2001 (when a modest Canon Ixus/Powershot cost more than a D90 does now). I already have a bunch of kit (see siggy), and the time has come to replace my rather clunky and disappointing Nikon Coolpix P5000. The new P7000 seems to perpetuate the same shortcomings, i.e. slow as a carthorse on Valium.
The things I need are full manual control including focusing, fast AF indoors, good image quality and high ISO performance. It also has to be around the same size as a P5000 so as to fit my Gigapan Epic.
I'm considering the Canon G11 or G12, maybe the former as the G12 will drive G11 prices down. I'm definitely not getting into 4/3, and I like lots of external controls. I'm also considering the Panny LX5 or the Canon S95, but so far they're outsiders.
Anyone have any comments or alternative suggestions?
Thanks in advance,
JohnE
