great camera......just needs a cmos now

i have owned both the g7 and the g9 previously to just getting the g10. i must say for someone like me who wants all that a dslr can do, but without all the weight and bulkiness...this is about as close as it will get. i would like to see a dslr cmos chip in it though. i also like all the new features they have added and how easily the ones i will need the most are easily accessible on the top of the camera itself instead of having to go to the menu to find them.

let's face it no camera is going to be everything to everyone. this camera will serve those who want something as small as a point and shoot, but with all the bells and whistles of a dslr without all the bulk and weight.

i had read someone elses opinion on another site that canon is sitting on the fence with the g10 trying to keep the point and shoot people happy and the dslr people happy, but by doing this, neither will be happy. i agree with that person in one respect...canon should get off the fence and make this camera one that has the same qualities as a dslr, but in a much smaller package. there are enough point and shoot & dslr cameras out there to choose from. now how about a true compact prosumer camera that is as good as any dslr.

having said all this...i still really like this camera for what it can do. i have tried many cameras, but keep going back to the g series for what they offer. i have gotten really good pics from them as well as some bad ones, but then you can also get that with dslr's. it takes two....the camera and the person taking the pics to make great photos....

i am just a simple amateur who wants a camera that will take great pics like everyone else does.
