Team-BHP Support ![]() ![]() | ![]() But SX10 and FZ28 are not "pocketable". In pocketable cams the best out there is the LX3. Samurai also owns this one. Its a true gem, and ideal for landscape and car shots. And it fits in your shirt pocket. |

Team-BHP Support ![]() ![]() | ![]() There is no best all purpose P&S. Since you need this camera for a very specific need, let's address that. The camera should have wide angle 28mm or less. Zoom is not important. Image quality very important. Noise should be well controlled. High dynamic range is desirable. 1) Panasonic Lumix DMC-LX3 Review: 1. Introduction: Digital Photography Review Awesome Wide angle - Best for shooting car interiors Superior Image quality Limited Zoom, shouldn't affect you much though. Very good lowlight performance - Best for shooting car interiors. 2) Fujifilm FinePix F200EXR Review: 1. Introduction: Digital Photography Review Best dynamic range, good for shooting in the sun. Very good lowlight performance - Best for shooting car interiors. Overall good performance. BTW, I don't have LX3, wish I did. It came out after I bought the FX-36. |

BHPian ![]() | ![]() 1 more vote for SX10 here. I have used both FZ28 and SX10 and Canon certainly is a step forward. Though the FZ28 is a strong competitor but not so much in low light, Ease with the screen, Grip not so good because its small for that shape (Canon is heavy though), Cap is locked and if u turn on without removing the cap you will damage the barrel badly. The good for FZ28 is that it has that Quick Settings Key and that it has a Lithium Ion Battery... hey mav2000. Stretch the budget by Rs 1000 and u get Canon SX110 for that price...u will love it...U can also see Canon A1000 and A2100, Sony H10 and H20 might also interest you for Rs 11K All above are grey prices Rajeev Last edited by Rehaan : 24th June 2009 at 02:41.

Team-BHP Support ![]() ![]() | ![]() So basically between the SX10 & the LX3. Any experience with the Canon G10? Quote:

Team-BHP Support ![]() ![]() | ![]() Stay away from G10, The LX3 has wider angle 24mm wide. So excellent for both exterior or interior shots of cars The Canon SX10 has 28-560mm zoom range as compared to 24-60 for LX3 So if you want an all in one which can be used for far zooms also, get SX10. If you want a wider angle than 28mm go for LX3 So all purpose - SX10 Wide angle specialist - great for car shots - LX3 SX10 wide at 28mm is also pretty okay. I have a 350D which with 18mm gives approx 28mm So if you want to know what 28mm wide looks like, here are the couple. With 24mm , you can get even wider! ![]() ![]() |

There are two aspects where LX3 is miles ahead of SX10 and G10, and these two aspects are very important for your need. 1) Image quality, which hugely depends on pixel density, lower the better. LX3 is 24MP/cm.sq compared to 34 and 35 of other two. 2) Wide angle, which is very useful for upclose shooting, lower the better. LX3 has 24mm compared to 28mm of other two. I paid $800 to upgrade from 28mm dSLR lens to a 24mm dSLR lens. That should give you some idea about the importance of this feature. | |

| ![]() Stay away from G10, pathetic for low light. Also, the pics have noise even at ISO 80. |

That's a great choice GTO. I'm using a Lumix (DMC FZ8) point and shoot for a couple of years now and I'm happy with it. The model I use is powered by a proprietary Panasonic battery pack which is the only drawback imho. |
