G10 vs. S1 series: Anyone have an opinion between the two?
1500548
I went with the G10 over the S1 for a couple reasons. The first one being the VieraCast and the ability to hook into the internet with a LAN connection. This is a big key, in my opinion, for future proofing your purchase a bit. Second, I believe the G10 has a better picture. The picture processing appears more fluid and less pixely than the S1. I saw the S1 at Sears and was a bit disappointed...not terrible, but wasn't what I thought it would be. (Please know that I have a Pioneer Elite Kuro for my other TV besides the Panasonic G10). I have read both sides saying that the S1 and the G10 were the same, but I have also read that they are slightly different. I believe I could notice the difference and I thought the G10 looked better. I spent the extra $$ for the future proofing feature and the slightly better picture quality.

What a coincidence that research lead us to the same two choices! :) Thank you so much for your detailed reply! Your experience is of great help for me!I finally decided to buy the G15, which seems to be the same as the G10, except that it is thinner.http://img18.imageshack.us/img18/1236/2009viera.jpghttp://www.practical-home-theater-guide.com/panasonic-plasma-hdtv-2009-3.html

Older G10s (before 2012?) were USA made. But the ones purchased here since then seem to all be made in China. So if you buy one now, the answer is probably NO.

The S95 has a nice f/2.0 lens, while the G12 is f/2.8. However, just about everything else tips the G12's way. The ergonomics are better (it actually helps a lot that it's significantly larger), it has a built-in optical neutral density filter that buys an extra three stops in bright light, and slightly longer zoom. The G12 is absolutely killer.

I owned both the G11 and the SX20...I decided to keep the G11 and sold the SX20 because for my needs the G11 fit the bill. If you need a high zoom all the time then definitely go with the SX20. I had the G9 which I loved it and decided to upgrade to the G11 it's the best camera I have own. I just went on a Caribbean Cruise and took over 1,000 shots and couldn't be happier with them all.

I own the 880, G10, and also the 990. The G10 and 990's images seem to have more clarity than the 880, and I had virtually unnoticable noise in my night light shots of Las Vegas. Both the G10 and 990 have more megapixels (almost 15), but they also have the same larger sensor to accomodate the pixel increase. If you want one a bit larger with more control, buy the G10. If you love the G10, want basically the same image quality, but want something more compact, you might want to consider the "baby sister", the 990 .

I went with the TX-1 because of the video quality and sound. G7 takes video with mono whereas the TX takes it with stereo. And also love the 10x zoom on TX.

They are not g10. They have the same handle materials as the standard black handled rat1. They are tough handles but feel just like plastic. You can go to the web site and read about it.

I concur with the answers given by Dean and Stephen. The positioning of the controls and the size in general are too different. I cannot agree with Dean's comment, however. I have been using this housing with my G11 for several years now, have traveld quite a bit with it, and am very satisified with both camera and housing.

According to Acer's page the S1 series uses "TN" technology, and not IPS. Can't find my manual, so can't verify that way.Here's the link(if amazon allows links)... http://us.acer.com/ac/en/US/content/group/monitors

My G5 is really glitchy right now due to the fact that my cat got into a vicious fight with the cord. So now I ordered the G9, and am still waiting for it to get here. From what I've heard, its better for claw grip users like me (your wrist stays on the mousepad and you use your fingers to move the mouse) as opposed to the G5 which I've heard is better for palm grip users (your wrist is elevated and your whole hand moves to move the mouse). To me, the G5 is a little too big and it took awhile to get used to the shape of it. Even after I've been gaming with it for several months, it still hurts my wrist in long gaming sessions.

I had the same dilemma but the prices were different at that time. S3 does have more "stuff." Reviews indicated that the S4 had too much stuff. I chose the S2 because I just wanted the basics. Maybe would have gone with the S3 if the prices were the same. I suggest you go back and read the reviews to see which appeals to you the most. I have no complaints about e S2.

I usually shoot with an Olympus E-P1. The GX1 focuses at least twice as fast, but then I am usually doing landscape or portrait shooting, so the GX1 speed advantage is not that important to me. However, I feel the GX1 firmware produces a softer (some might say "creamier") output on both jpg and raw images, so I usually reserve it for portraits of humans and continue to use the E-P1 for the bulk of my work. If you are interested in shooting sports, the fast focusing of the GX1 is far superior to the E-P1, which is next to useless for that application (unless you prefocus and wait for the shot).

don't know, mine is the Ultimate G series.....My GUESS is it would; but that is just a guess as I do not know what a G-10D is

I'm a prospective buyer for either a g7 or g9. The g7 does have a firmware hack for RAW. I wonder if this would change peoples' minds on the g7.

I think the only difference is the size/shape and perhaps some inside software changes too. The G2 responds pretty quickly to button presses where the G1 is a tad slower. I started with the G2 and now I have the G1 and am completely satisfied. The G2 is smaller and sleeker looking, but with a $200 price tag versus a $50 price tag, it was easy to make my choice. The G1 is about the size of a large ipod video, but it is still lightweight though.

I have the G500s, Roccat Kone Pure Optical and the Rival. The Rival has a little bit more of a lift off distance then the G500s (a smiggin), but not by much and the same lift off distance as the Pure Optical.
