G6, G7 or TX-1? But as far as picture quality is concerned, how does the TX-1 compare to the G6 and G7?

I went with the TX-1 because of the video quality and sound. G7 takes video with mono whereas the TX takes it with stereo. And also love the 10x zoom on TX.

I've been using the G 1X since it first came out. I can tell you that the amount of noise at high ISOs is remarkably minimal. No camera is ideal for everyone. But the large sensor, the portability of the camera, and low noise at high ISOs make this good for me. I hope this helps.

I have been through the Powershot SD500 and the G7. My sister has the G9 and we have not have issues with those cameras. Yes, my old SD500 still has issues with low light and I have worked around that having it for this long. It was just time for me to try out Casio and see how the new FC100 did. No, I have not tried video yet but I hope to get a chance in next day or two to let you know. being in a gym shouldn't be a problem as they "usually" have good light but don't take my word.

Nikon d40, which just arrived today and looks a little daunting! I was persuaded that the pictures would be far superior and that the auto modes produce good pictures (unlike the Canon Rebel I had a few years ago), BUT it is much more of a "camera" than the stick in your pocket G9. I already have a very portable Canon elph, but it has minimal zoom--so rather useless at my son's soccer games.Not sure I made the right choice, but seems like I now have cameras at both ends of the spectrum whereas the G9 might be in the middle.

The G15's fast lens can get an equivalent image in one-third of the ambient light, based on the G12's f/2.8 lens versus the G15's f/1.8 lens. The G15 has an additional 2 megapixels on its sensor, which would result in a slight improvement in image quality. That said, for your application, you're unlikely to notice a major improvement in image quality except for cases where you are shooting in low light and not using the flash. Also be aware that unlike the G12, the G15 does not have the flip-out/tilting rear display panel. That's actually the reason I bought the G15, because there is no chance that I'll snap it off. The built in display also reduces the depth of the camera body slightly. If you want the tilt-out display, then last year's G1X model would be your current upgrade path from the G12. I don't know if next year's model will feature the return of the tilt-out display; some buyers obviously like it, and some don't.

I'm a prospective buyer for either a g7 or g9. The g7 does have a firmware hack for RAW. I wonder if this would change peoples' minds on the g7.

From looking at the Google results MXP should give you better image quality. Actually I've been shooting in MXP and the video quality is excellent on my 48 inch TV. Never tried FXP. Probably never will. I have 96GB of storage, 32G internal and two 32G cards, so storage is not a factor.

I have one and like it very much. Excellent camera with great features at a very good price. Portability is a big plus in addition to various kens options. The only downside I see with the G5 is indoor auto white balance accuracy. However, this could potentially be corrected with a firmware update or on your own easily with a little post-processing. Definitely worth owning.

Canon says that the G1 is not the successor to the G12. So it looks like they are planning some sort of refresh of the G12 (and they should). What that will involve and when it will come out remains top secret, apparently. Canon must be taking a page from the Apple playbook on this....

Same. They are usually neck-and-neck, with the P7000 leaning more towards DSLR owners, and the G12 more towards point-and-shooters. However, since Amazon is selling the P7000 for ~$240 right now, there's no contest.

So far, I haven't had one single problem watching movies which stems the issue. 'Probably' if you compare the feature to a set for 3-D playback, but for regular 2-D, the G25 is nothing short of stellar when it comes to picture quality and DVD playback. Like I mentioned, all the stuff I've watched has never been a problem, the 24p (2:3) worked wonders and I am loving my set!

The Canon G12 is a nice camera but it appears it will be allowed to fade away (prices remain high, easily available, no one buying). I've noticed many cameras (including Nikons) have reduced build quality --- even the Elph 310 vs. the Elph 300. So, don't wait for the G13 or G1a. Get this or the Fuji (I also like the viewfinder). (The Fuji is better built, costs more, and is made by a company with no customer service.) The G12 has been replaced by the SX40 --- so say even Nikon techs. Want a 5x lens (with great video thrown in) and a non on the mantle camera --- get the Elph 300 (in black) for $149. (Just live without the viewfinder and have a beer first.) :-) The Canon G12 is a nice camera but it appears it will be allowed to fade away (prices remain high, easily available, no one buying).

I've seen sample movies of both, and the quality of the Canon TX1 is MUCH better, especially when you pause the movie, you see the compression crap of MP4.

G7 is an old model (2005), and it's 10 MP. Maybe you're looking at comments about a newer model, which I assume would have a different name like G16 or something.

I am confused whether to buy G12 or SX210. Which one gives better pictures ?

Thanks for your response. So... Is there any difference in picture quality?

Gosh, I really wouldn't know how to answer that. I have the original (ole') GF1, the GF5, the GX1, and the G5 - none of which have the issues that you mentioned. Additionally, I had not previously heard about that LCD issue and I tend to post and read on quite a few photography forums. All I can say is that I've not experienced this at all - and I have two GX-1's (one with the 14-45 OIS on it, and the other with the 45-200 OIS). Ben
