My new job has me traveling quite a bit. The last three weeks were spent in Miami, Florida. The next two weeks will be New York City and then I'll have a two week break before spending another two weeks in Paris.
With all this travel to interesting locations I decided to enable myself with a new P&S camera. After much deliberation I chose a Canon G11. I wish Pentax made a camera with the features and controls of the G11, but they don't so I didn't choose a Pentax... The G11 is small enough to travel with but has a real optical viewfinder and extensive controls so that it handles more like a "real" camera. I'd travel with a KX because of it's small size and excellent image quality but the lenses add bulk and make it less pocketable and easy to carry. My work involves 12 hour days in a datacenter with very little free time so I just wanted something to have in a belt pouch and be ready for any photo ops that caome up. Something else I like about the G11 is the exgtensive number of accessories available including third-party underwater housings and strobe setups. Again something that's never available for poor Pentax cameras. I've only had it for one day but so far I'm happy with the control layout and usage. As I shoot more I'll see how image quality holds up. -- Christian ------------------------------------- http://404notfound.blogspot.com http://birdofthemoment.blogspot.com -- PDML Pentax-Discuss Mail List PDML@pdml.net http://pdml.net/mailman/listinfo/pdml_pdml.net to UNSUBSCRIBE from the PDML, please visit the link directly above and follow the directions.
