So tell us why you like it best? Personal anecdotes are always more fun than the hard numbers....
Well to keep it short and simple.
I really love the G9. Mine unfortunatly came to an unfortunate death at the beach. But that is a story for another day.
The G9 performed better than the G10 in both noise and speed. I could pull off ISO800 images with the G9, But ISO 400 was MAX in the G10.
Also setting up the G9 at hyperfocal was pretty easy and had less shutter lag than the G10.
The G10 though had the better wider lens. That and battery life was its only advantage. When the S90 came out, I sold the G10 to buy the S90.
In truth, I only used the s90 for a week before my daughter borrowed it for life
so I never really got to enjoy it much. I should also note that
I had an SD780IS as well and that was a real cool pocket cam. My other daughter took that one from me as well. So after my G9 died, I had actually
looked at a few used ones on craigs list and was surprised to see they where fetching near new prices. So I decided the buy the LX-5 for the wider lens.
Well, the first time I went out with the LX-5 i was amazed at how fast the auto focus worked at 24mm. I mean it is like ''bam'' I believe that since it is a
24mm lens with a tiny sensor that it is preset at hyperfocal from like 3 feet on. So basically I point and shoot. It also has better DR than the canons I have had.
It is simply a better cam....As far as noise, it is a min of 1 stop better than the G9 and 2 stops better than the G10...
