I have been shooting with my 400D and Canon 17-40 L for a long time now and love them both. I have bought a second hand G9 as a compact camera to take quick street photo sort of shots. I have been seeing some differences in the exposure settings for both cameras.
If I take two identical pictures of a particular scene with both the 400D/17-40 and the G9 I get different settings. For example I took something today and the 400D gave f8.0 and 1/400 while the G9 gave f8.0 and 1/200 to give a correct exposure. The save difference is also there for apertures, eg one give f8.0 and the other f6.0 (I think).
Why does this happen? Is it something to do with the physical differences to the lenses and the way they use the light?
