My new compact camera. Its a Canon G9. Why do I need a compact when I have such a great Canon 30D? Well, there are times when its just a bit annoying having to lug it around just incase I see something I want to photograph. It always happens so I always need a camera. I also wanted to test a compact for HDR goodness as part of my HDR book. The G9 is about the best compact with RAW support on the market. I had a quick play today and for black and white work the ISO is usable up to 800 and just about ok at 1600. Its a really nice camera. I fully expect it to be replaced in September at Photokina but I need it now and its good. I'll give it a proper field test tomorrow at the Radiohead gig.
