I shoot jpgs too so that I can have instant access to pics for email or webposting. So for those to come out 'wrong' is a delay and irritation, I have set the shortcut button to WB, which helps a bitUnknownhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11702486940515364338noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5826231802859523569.post-87738299641468548262009-12-29T13:30:37.477-08:002009-12-29T13:30:37.477-08:00Hi Marie,

I can say that if you shoot raw then DEFINITELY get Lightroom 2.6 or ACR 5.6 as the improvement is drastic over how the RAW files were (incorrectly) interpreted with the earlier versions, so the colors were way off.ronmartblog.comhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06815090271742112506noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5826231802859523569.post-75693699713398027222009-12-29T10:56:44.402-08:002009-12-29T10:56:44.402-08:00Yes the AWB is not good, always wrong under tungst...Yes the AWB is not good, always wrong under tungsten, odd as my G10 was fine.<br /><br />Shame about the plastic rear body and cheaper controls on rear as well as the loss of the great screen in favour of the twisty one.<br /><br />Somehow I actually preferred the G10s feel and build, Some of the G11 improvements were not.<br /><br />The AWB issue is a bit of a pain in a point and shootUnknownhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11702486940515364338noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5826231802859523569.post-14296571139924665062009-12-05T02:45:16.795-08:002009-12-05T02:45:16.795-08:00Beautiful photos.

First, I am amazed at how well Canon listened to their customer base. People loved the G10. But the two biggest complaints/suggestions I've routinely heard are: 1. The high ISO noise is too obvious and noise filters blur the image. 2. I wish it had a flexible screen on the back. To those two complaints I would have added: It would be nice to have a better optical view finder with more accurate framing.r4i softwarehttp://www.r4-ds-kort.dknoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5826231802859523569.post-75154162801858831292009-11-11T14:18:32.552-08:002009-11-11T14:18:32.552-08:00Thanks for the helpful review - I just got mine at...Thanks for the helpful review - I just got mine at Best Buy yesterday and am axious to see how my initially positive impression holds up.
