2 questions about digital cameras

Most of the current cameras have video recording capabilities. While it is not most important thing for me, I have been checking/comparing cameras that fall in the G10(Prosumer or whatever) class of cameras. The battery life is another thing that is very important for me as well. I have ruled out Canon Powershot SX10 IS, since they take AA batteries (but recommend NiMH). That's surprising. I don't have a G10 manual, but the G7 that it's based upon rates the battery life at 220 images/charge (CIPA test using 50% full power flash). The SX10 IS does better, rated at 340 images per set of alkalines and 600 images/charge using NiMH cells, also per the CIPA test. Canon's cameras typically get 2 to 3 times the number of shots in non-CIPA tests since the flash isn't used. With NiMH cells that should result in from 600 to well over 1,000 shots per charge, depending on how often the flash is used. The G10 is newer and much better than the G7 and its NB-7L battery has greater capacity than the G7's NB-2LH, but I'd be surprised if it reaches the battery life of the SX10 IS. I think that you'd be satisfied with any camera whose battery life is as good as, or slightly less than that of the SX100 IS. If you're ruling out the SX10 IS because it uses AA cells and not because of its assumed battery life, that's another matter, and since it's your money, you also get to be called "The Decider". |
