Does anyone have experience of the new Canon G5?
Is it as good as the magazine reports protray?
Roger
I have had a G5 now for about 3 months.
I am new to birding however an have no experience of, but would like to learn about, digiscoping.
As a stand alone digital camera - this is the best I have used - Optical lens quality is first class and fast and the handling is great.
The G5 is the kind of digi camara that SLR uses will like (who can't afford a Canon Digi SLR!)
Its small enough to go out with you but big enough to handle like a proper camera.
Needless to say exposure's are spot on with loads of auto modes and full manual capability and being a 5 MP model, A4 prints are excellent.
You won't be disappointed.......hm now how can I connect it to my opticron 66 scope???
Cheers
Roger,
Have you looked on www.dpreview.com for their review of it? Also, if you go to www.pro90.info/forum and register as a member, then do a search for the Canon G5, you will see what several people have said about it compared to the Canon Pro90IS. As I remember, nice all around camera, but the main critique was its lack of reach, which you definitively want with birds.
