A560 will have to do... for now

I've learning about RAW and bracketing, and all sorts of things. Who says that? Have you tried. I have used by G3 on my belt for over two years now. Yes, it's a bit clunky but it works and allows me to take my G3 all of the time. Heck, I even got a Pro1 that I am putting on my belt now. Give it a try, you might like it.

lefturn99 Senior Member 820 posts Joined Feb 2005 Location: Tulsa Oklahoma USA More info | Mar 31, 2005 06:17 | #9 Actually I had a little eBay "auction fever" last month and snagged a Sony P150 pretty cheap. Never intended to buy a non-Canon but I lost my head. I love it. No manual functions to speak of - just whip it out and shoot. Takes wonderful pictures. and it rattled around in my A80 pouch. I'm a field rep by trade and I need a camera with me to at all times take pictures of damages. 'Course, a 2mp camera would be plenty for that but......... 6D, 5D Mk III, 60D, EOS M, Gear List

I still love my G6 but I wear my P150 on my belt everywhere I go. If I go out to shoot pictures I take the G6. And then I found out they have the same sensor. Go figure. That makes sense. I can see how having the G6 on your belt while you are working would be an issue. But the G6 is definitely "belt-able" for casual use (going to the park, etc.).

Wll I found this handy pic for a comparison of A95 and G6:  To be honest, Im tempted to go for a 300D they are cheap now. But, I only want 1 camera and with the 300D its not really a portable cam for any occastion like the A80 is. That's why Im after the G6 which is still small enough IMO. my flickr

Just be very careful where you order it from if you go the online route. I found it a couple places less than $400 but it turned out to be a big disaster. If you do find a place online to get it, make sure you contact the seller directly (via phone, if possible) and get ALL THE DETAILS about the sale. "One picture is worth.... 1,000 more pictures."
