I was thinking of getting one, but I just bought a pocket point and shoot (SD780is).

I was thinking a G11 or that, but migt go with the new Nikon P100 since it also does HD (1080) video.

My research indicates its a good camera though. esp. if you need it pocket sized.

 

I also have a Nikon D60 DSLR but find myself more and more using the Canon S90 because its so much smaller and easier to pack around. I'm amazed at the quality of pictures I get from it and I'm still learning how to use it.

I personally dont care about video when it comes to cameras. I have an HD video camera for that.

 

Yeah. I'm kind of displeased with the quality of my SD780IS. I mean its decent but I can't do as much as a camera like that.

The G11 isn't overly bulky...dunno, the bigger lens and easier controls on top have me lean towards that if I needed to.

 

Read what this guy says about the S90 and the G11. His website is a great resource.

It has a bigger lens, so I would think it would take better pics. maybe i dunno....

i already have a pocket sized, so a midsized one might work better for artsy shoots.

 

maybe i should beat the shit out of my current one so I can justify buying the S90?

 

Get a Nikon DSLR for "artsy" shoots... or porn shoots!

 

I have a Canon dSLR. I need to learn to use it better though. Like you said, too big for most uses....

 

I'm sure they'll release an HD video version soon enough, i'll wait until then perhaps. I'd like a better quality pocket cam.

 

One and the same.

 

Do most DSLR's come with a time lapse feature? Or is that a professional/high end camera thing?

 

Does it snap the picture right away or does it have that annoying delay between hitting the button and the picture being taken?

 

one of my pet peeves.....hard to get good shots out at a bar/club/party with that delay.

 

Dang, those were the days. Now it's all about getting a picture of my toddler son -- way, way geeky, but that's where I am in life these days.

 

Vanns did a good review of it as well. 5 stars.

Very little delay.

I wonder if he got a whole bunch of these in bulk at $300 each and is trying to make a profit. His store doesn't know and hes getting a little extra on the side.
