As a 10D and G2 owner (yes there are still happy G2 users out there!) I use the G2 a hell of a lot, mostly due it's much more compact dimensions. However comparisons between the two show a distinct advantage to the 10D in terms of tonal quality and noise. The 10D has beautifully flowing colour transitions that the G2 cannot match even on bright days at 50 ISO. Mind you the G2 is no slouch - which is why I make a good deal of use of it, but the 10D images have a quality about them that clearly differentiates them from those from the G2 - neither are particularly sharp out of the camera, but I've noticed that when sharpening in PS the 10D images seem to have less resultant artefacting than the G2 images - I put that down to the more even tonality of the images (of course it may be for some other reason altogether.... but still). Mind you, I'll concede that at 8x10 print size there's probably not much in it... Just don't expect a G1/2/3/5 to be useful for action shots with anything approaching the capability of the current crop of DSLRs. Nine times out of ten your subjects will be gone by the time it'll take the shot! Cheers Gary This message has passed through an insecure network.
