It came today. :)
It’s nearly identical in feel to the G7 it replaces, which is a good thing.
Except the strap, which was slightly nicer on the G7. If it didn’t say “PowerShot G7” on it, I’d keep that one.
I haven’t had much time to use it, but here are some early impressions.
Pro:
- RAW!
- Bigger, nicer screen. Very noticable.
- New focus modes with new review modes. More later, after I experiment with them in detail.
- Faster.
- ISO data is back in the right place in the EXIF! Yay!
Con:
- Strap not as stylish.
- Viewfinder not improved over G7.
- RAW not supported in Lightroom or Aperture yet.
So far, I’m stoked.
