I’m thinking of getting a camera and for a while now I was pretty much sold on getting a Canon G9. I was just hoping for something like Black Friday or a birthday present to help offset the ridiculous cost for a point and shoot camera that wants to be a DSLR. That is, up till a few weeks ago when Sony announced the T500. So now I am in a bit of a conundrum. Should I continue on my course to get the G9 or go with the T500 that has some features that the G9 doesn’t have? Internet, I’m in a dilemma! I want to hear some of your suggestions.
But before all of that. I want to clarify that I want a point a shoot of substance. Yes, for the prices that these cameras are going for I could get myself a DSLR and become one of those that are gay for Rebel EOS’es or Sony Alphas, but I’m lazy and I’m too busy to play with all the functionality at the moment. Also, I’m an amateur. Like in snowboarding you don’t go a double black diamond when you can’t even ride a green. So let’s just stick with the high end “pro” point and shoots for now, please. :]
Lets go with some pros and cons of each:
