Tested a bunch of cameras
Took an SD card up to Jessops and played around with some cameras. The Canon G10 is still the clear leader – the Nikon P90 has an amazing 24x zoom and is incredibly light, but on closer inspection the pictures lack zing and are quite noisy. The Canon SX10 IS I felt was a bit heavy, but it seemed to be taking nice photos! Very wierd. The chap in the shop is going to recharge one of the other Nikons so I can test that tomorrow, but I suspect the G10 may be the winner. Jessops have it for £414 but Amazon have it for £357… and PC World has it for £449.99. I can’t believe the price differences! And none of them seem to be offering anything different really – just the basic camera pack. So it’s back there tomorrow to test the other Nikon and probably to recheck the G10 for a couple of test shots I didn’t get and recheck the weight of the SX10. Then it’ll be decision-time…
