G10

Many reviews of the G 10 focus their comparisons to previously issued cameras. I am not looking for a replacement camera. If previous camera models (G9 for instance) were available for the same extended warranties backed by a store (replacement even if I broke it...), I could consider older models perhaps. Instead I am trying to compare it to the current models...lumix LX3, Canon A650... I tried a ZOOM camera and decided that the size and lens size (for macro) were too limiting. I don't want to depend on software to improve quality because all I have is Picasa for now. It's good but minimal.
I tried the SX10 and had trouble with pics that looked overexposed. Maybe I needed to fuss more but my 7 day return policy was soon to end. Is it possible the same problem can happen with the G10? In bright lite the whites were way burnt out. My older Fuji F45fd took superior pictures in those situations. Thank you. (no more space!)

Follow up....next camera will certainly be a DSLR, but not yet. I enjoy access to macro (1 cm.) too much.
Thank you again.

Canon A650 IS is no longer currently in production per the official USA Canon website.
Not surprised that the Fuji F45fd took better pictures since it had a much lower pixel density and consequently a wider dynamic range. Current P&S cameras do not have the wide dynamic range to be able to cover from darkest to lightest areas of some scenes. That is why some cameras now have the ability to lighten up the darker areas AFTER taking the photo but still in camera. This would be something similar to the "fill flash" function on Picasa.
I'm sorry I can't give you a specific camera recommendation, but I can say that my G9 has been wonderful and the G10 with its wide angle lens looks great too. Check out the G10 review at
