very impressive. this camera will be mine ASAP.

Even the ISO800 looks great.

Ummmm, this for a point and shoot, looks quite exceptional, there are even a couple at 1600 that look pretty decent for 1600.

I clicked to see the originals and they look impressive, what I'd like to know is if the images were shot JPEG or RAW, my guess would be JPEG, obviously the images we are looking at are JPEG's.

Dare I say as good as my 40D?

Maybe that's pushing it.

I'm pretty impressed with the action shots of the bicycle race in daylight at ISO 400 , Froze the action good with an IQ that I wouldn't have doubted being a lower ISO.

Even the 1600 in pic #31, sure I can see the noise, but a very usable pic for capturing the moment and sharing.

Hmm, you guys must be looking at different pictures than me because all I thought was that they all look really soft and mushy even at ISO 80.

The ISO 1600 looks good for a compact, but the base ISO looks like a major step back. This is the same feeling I get when I look at the new Sony Exmor-R compact and S90 samples as well.

Wow man, you're shooting Canon SLR's and you're saying that those pictures are soft? Man, you should check out a 30D or something...now that's soft. Even ISO 400 makes it lose details...

Really, this is fantastic. I absolutely love it. Too bad it doesn't support optical zoom in movies (correct me if I'm wrong).

I'd buy one of these but I don't really know how big it is...I never had a G camera. Does it fit in a larger pocket?

This iso 1600 shot is impressive... I really didn't think it would be this good. http://a.img-dpreview.com …w2/originals/im​g_0041.jpg

coat pocket, yes. pant pocket, not so much.

imagine a regular point and shoot and add about half an inch to the length, height, and depth.

?

If you think any G-series compact has ever compared IQ wise to any SLR Canon has made, then you have been mislead.

But regardless, compare the base ISO outdoor images to some of Canon's older cameras. I feel like the base ISO on the g11 and S90 samples lack life and just seem, for lack of a better word, blah. I am feeling like Canon is starting to let base ISO quality slide in an aattempt to get workable high ISO out of a compact.

Very very impressive for such a small sensor....

Is it me or does the s90 images look better?
Here is a similar shot at ISO 1600. The exposure is brighter but the resolution seems greater and the noise less.

I would think the same sensor and processor should give the same results.
