i think that is big, but reasonable. also DigitalRev does not like it so much. but it still have G1X market....

i can find love for this G1x... at first i thought it would be great but after looking at the end product in the digitalrev i got to admit it is really "it aint fast, aint high tech, aint retro" which i find it lossing out the point of purchassing it....

i would even choose the Fuji newest X-S1 over this camera.

OMG my G12 facing zoom in problems. Its can zoom out but cannot zoom in. Wat should I do??

to get bokeh effect/shallow depth of field, there are 2 possible way:
1. use big aperture (F2.8 for instance) in order to focus only the subject closest to the camera while the rest of the background out of focus (bokeh)
2. control the distance between u n the subject. subject closer to u, easier to get bokeh background. this can b done by walk closer to the subject, or use telephoto lens...


this pic taken with F4.5 but still hav the bokeh effect, bcos i zoom in telephoto... method 2


this pic is combination of method 1 and 2, F2.8 + close to subject.


another example of bokeh background done by method 2... telephoto lens, F4.5

Of cos using macro mode is easier to get bokeh, bcos in that mode means u r getting close to the subject. u can try out with ur camera and u wil know wat i mean...

thanks beelze... will try it out as u explained by the way what setting are u using to get those? is it P or M or something else?

wanna to get 1 compact camera...and G12 is in my mind now..guy do u think G12 is really worth to buy?? give me some confidence pls...haha...struggling..

depends what u want from the compact..... u want pocketable then this is out.... (can choose it brother S100 though)
u want control then this is in.

OMG, send warrenty ASAP ? call canon service center...

of course not for pocketable, looking stg tat can give quality image....
going to backpacking....DSLR is little too 'huge' for me....so wish to grab 1 compact camera...n hope tat wat im choose not going to be a decision tat make me regret...haha
