Well, guys, perhaps you can help me decide what to do here....
For the time being I'm happy with the 10D and all the paraphernalia that goes with it, except that there's far too much to cart around everywhere. I also have a G2 which is just about small enough to put in a large pocket. I used to have a Fuji MX-1700 which I carried around all the time, but the 1.5MP max resolution was a bit restrictive so I sold it with the idea of getting something neat but newer.
Now I know that the 10D + 50mm lens isn't too bulky really, but I'd like something with a decent zoom range that is pocketable. One option is a G6, another is an Olympus C7070 when it comes out later this month. Or I could go for a modern equivalent of the MX-1700 and get a sub-compact, but which one?
The Ixus has mixed reviews, and although I'm a Canon fan it sounds as if there may be something better. One that seems widely praised is the Sony P150 which will shortly be replaced by the P200. I've never though of Sony as being a top-league camera manufacturer, but this one has a Zeiss lens and people seem to rave about it.
Ideally I'd like at least 5MP and a decent optical zoom. 35mm equivalent wide angle would be OK I suppose, although I'd prefer 28mm. Weatherproof would be good too, but not essential. I appreciate that the image quality would not be up to the 10D etc, but it should be as good as possible within the constraints of size.
Any ideas or suggestions? :roll:
