Those of you with G11 and dSLR...photo comparisons

[kezug]

I recently purchased a G11 and love it for everything it is. However, I am at a point where I really would like to dabble into a dSLR, perhaps a Canon EOS D500/T1i or something similar but not too advanced for me (a good step up for me from the G11)...

so what I am hoping for, is if someone has a G11 and an EOS T1i or close, if you could post some comparison shots. Same composition, and similar settings and no PP(Please)...and post those shots here.

I want to see how the shots compare between the 2 camera's.

I have looked and I am not seeing any threads comparing the same shots.

Thanks.

It all depends on your lenses. If you shoot with "L" lenses on your T1i, you will get spectacular pictures. In ideal outdoor lighting, the G11 will hold its own against Canon's consumer lenses. The camera that you have with you is the one that will get the better pictures.

Yes, the G11 can do well under the "right" circumstances, but being able to add excellent lens options to a DSLR will most likely make the differences obvious. The difference in image sensor sizes also cannot be overlooked. I only have the G9 and G11, but would like to have DSLR results. However, I don't want to spend the money and carry all the gear. Thus, I've made a compromise that I can live with.

Here are some reviews showing G11 results compared to m43 cameras, and one involving the T1i.

To be honest with you I have both and couldn't live without both. The G11 is perfect for trips and family snapshots, it also wins in portability. Macro on the G11 is surprisingly good and fun to play with as well. Unfortunately you can't get any type of bokeh or background blur with it unless you are shooting macro from a couple inches away. This alone makes it difficult so shoot portraits with busy backgrounds. If you are interested in dslr's in any way though I would still recommend getting one as they open up a whole new realm in photography. I'm still learning how to use my dslr's and lenses and it's been 6 years!

TuanTime is right on. These are two different cameras for two different uses with different strengths. I have a 10D and G11 and one cannot replace the other. When I need fast response, want shallow DOF or need a longer focal length, then I use the SLR. Most other times I use the G11. The SLR doesn't come out anymore unless there is a need. But there are times when it is needed.

You mean like this?

BTW, the DSLR shot taken with a full-frame DSLR and L lens operating at it's most favorable settings.
