G’day!

So now the Canon Powershot G10 is here, what would be good accessories to go with that i.e Lens, filter, tripod etc especially for Real Estate?

I’m thinking later on, if I really get into photography will anything I get for this camera be useful, for say, an EOS 50D?

@Larry- I’ve read you can get a wide angle converter for the G9 but only down to 28 - not quite wide enough. Is that true?

I haven’t used a point and shoot in a while, but I’ve heard great things about the G9. A lot of people use it for PAP.

What about the new Lumix DMC-LX3? Any input of those yet?

Check out the Canon A650. Probably the best point and shooter around. Not quite the pocket camera, but not quite the DSLR,

Take a look at the Lumix dmc-fx35. Has a 25mm wide angle, will auto bracket and is 10mg (only need 3mg) It is a super point and shoot. At one time I thought it was apoint a shoot, but you can tweek the thing for almost any shot”

@Mike- The G9 does AEB just like most Canon DSLR bodies. In fact it works almost identically to my AEB on my 1Ds. It will even cook coffee and scrabbled eggs:)

I looked at the Canon G9 and thought it was great (RAW, etc.). However, it misses one requirement on my list for all around use: AEB (auto exposure bracketing). I use a Canon PowerShot SD430 for my PAP shots. The quality is amazing. It doesn’t do AEB either. But it goes with me everywhere in my shirt pocket.

“you have to live with a fixed focal length”

When you need a shot wider than 24mm, just shoot 2 pics vertically side by side and stitch them together with Hugin or photomerge in PS.
