At first I thought it was that I just wasn&#8217;t inspired.  But I got to thinking it&#8217;s also probably because I just never have my camera with me now that it&#8217;s a minimum of 3.5 lbs. just for the D70 and a lens.  That and I&#8217;m just lazy.  So when Canon announced their new <a href=\"http:\/\/www.dpreview.com\/news\/0809\/08091702canon_g10.asp\" title=\"DPReview.com: PowerShot G10\" target=\"_bluBlog\">PowerShot G10<\/a>, I got a little excited.  4 years ago I was so ready to get rid of the crappy &#8220;prosumer&#8221; point and shoot camera and move up to a full-on DSLR and here I am thinking about the G10.  Blah blah blah and 3 weeks later I have my new toy.<\/p>\n<div align=\"center\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/jacksarse.com\/blog\/images\/g10_front.jpg\" alt=\"PowerShot G10 Front\" class=\"noborder\" \/><\/div>\n<div align=\"center\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/jacksarse.com\/blog\/images\/g10_top.jpg\" alt=\"PowerShot G10 Top\" class=\"noborder\" \/><\/div>\n<div align=\"center\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/jacksarse.com\/blog\/images\/g10_back.jpg\" alt=\"PowerShot G10 Back\" class=\"noborder\" \/><\/div>\n<p>Check out those cool rangefinder-like controls!  The feel is nice too with a leather\/ette thingie on the hand grip.  The start-up time was unexpectedly quick; a snappy surprise.  Weight-wise, the G10 is a breeze to carry.  Although not as high-res as the D90&#8217;s screen, the G10 does have a higher res screen than most other point-and-shoots.  Lastly, a few notable improvements from my old G3 are the built-in lens cover and 28mm wide angle.  Unfortunately, the lens is slower at f\/2.8.<\/p>\n<p>I&#8217;m still a little conflicted though since it really does lack a lot of things, say, a new D90 would have.  We&#8217;ll see how much I actually miss a DSLR.  The good news is that I sold two more images recently which easily covers the G10 &#8230; or a new lens.  Weird if you think about it that way: a G10 equals a lens in cost.  Haha.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>I&#8217;ve been feeling like I haven&#8217;t been taking enough pictures. At first I thought it was that I just wasn&#8217;t inspired.
