Default Canon G9 vs SX100

Hello,

Do the Canon G9 and SX100 have any notable technical differences in
their sensors, photo contrast, optical distortion, dynamic range, etc. I
wonder if their side by side photos comparing the results.

I realize they are quite different models. I am just wondering if the
G9's sensor is significantly different than the other's (except the
resolution of course).

G9 has 1/1.7" sensor (9.5x7.6 mm). SX100 has smaller 1/2.5" sensor
(7.2x5.8mm). In area, the sensor in G(9 is roughly 1.7 times larger
than the SX100. The 1/2.5" size appears to be the general size of
sensor in most compact P&S cameras.

Canon should be totally ashamed of this (and some others too) HP got this basic and absolutely essential thing right in their little digicam that's cheap even for a P&S, so why can't Canon?!! Yes, I know, there's more to the Canon 20D, but w Mike Henley Digital Photography 58 December 15th 04 06:21 PM
