Is there any main difference between this one and Zoom G1N besides the overall looks and number of effects?

It's a bit trickier to edit...due to there being loads more options for compressors, choruses, reverberate etc...but once you've got the hang of it( and it took me a day or two) it's great. I'd buy another tomorrow if it got stolen. There's a looper on it to experiment with. My guitar sounds amazing when matched with this pedal, better than other stuff I've used.

I don't know G1N, but looking to it's specs, I see one immediate difference, wich is the one that made me buy the G1on: G1on has a 30 second looper, wich is not present on G1N.

G1n has no looper, G1n is older so the effects probably dont sound as good, and it has less effects and is larger more cumbersome. Might be better if you dont like fiddling with screens since it just has basic knobs on it, but no looper really makes it less valuable in my opinion

Sorry - I know nothing about the G1n. The G1on is very good, though. Intuitive, and the looper and drum patterns are a bonus. Sorry I can't he;p further. Howard.

the biggest difference is that this like the other multisomp pedals have an updatable firmware that emulates other pedals. you can connect to a computer via USB and expand as more effects are added (there are currently around 100) it also has stereo out via the headphone jack so you can use a splitter and have a stereo out for things like the stereo delays and such

The new G11 is an improvement over the G10. But I don't think it's on the same level as the LX3, mainly because of the lens. I think the upcoming Canon S90 is a direct competitor to the LX3. It has a small and compact form factor like the LX3. And it has a fast f/2 lens like the LX3. However, it doesn't have a hot shoe. And it doesn't shoot HD video. And no viewfinder either. I've had the LX3 since the beginning of the year. And I plan on selling it after the S90 comes out. The LX3 shoots fantastic low light pictures. But daylight pictures are average. I think Canon has the better image processor overall. Also, the auto focus on the LX3 seems slow to me. My other gripe is that menu system isn't intuitive on the LX3. Canon cameras are extremely easy to use and changing the settings is a breeze. I love the exposure and ISO dials on the G10 and G11. It's a much better/easier camera to operate. But the size is a little too big for me, as a daily carry-around camera. And it still has a somewhat slower lens. I just think it's odd that Canon gave the S90 a fast lens, but not the G11. Maybe they'll get it right on the G12?

The Nocticron IMO is better corrected and more Leica-like. The Voigtlanders get a tiny bit more light but the rendering is different. The 42.5/0.95 was excellent before the Nocticron was released but after comparing images from both, the Nocticron just seems to be better. The 25/0.95 is a different focal length but is also a fast lens which now has a clickless aperture ring. I'm a stills person so this is from a stills perspective. If you're into video, the Voigtlanders are tough to beat due to the clickless aperture rings. If you need optical stabilization however, the Nocticron is your best bet that is still fast and mid-telephoto.

I am confused whether to buy G12 or SX210. Which one gives better pictures ?

One reviewer says Vixia HF G10 owners won't find much reason to upgrade to the G20. The biggest differences are price (the G20 lists for $1099, while the G10 was about $1500), and much-improved low-light capability. Otherwise they're reportedly almost identical. I can't compare based on my own experience, but I *love* my G20!

Both works fine. The only noticeable difference is in the range, I use the zoom a lot so for me it was worth the expense

I can't give you a comparison of them. I can tell you the S1000 is an awesom bridge camera. You can have full manual control or just use auto. The zoom is great both optical and digital. I highly recommend the S1000. Other revues I've read say shooting video you can hear the lens motor when zooming and ths is true. However you can remove the sound when editing the project.

Fortunately I have access to both and did a pretty thorough review of them on my blog site at http://www.blendblog.net/Default.aspx?tabid=36&EntryID=64. Hope this helps, I like both devices but they are different and which one to get really depends on what you are looking for which I breakdown in my review. Sean

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 .

Actually a fast zoom with rocker switch. Remote control zoom is significantly slower. Both work well though.

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).

G1x has an optical viewfinder if it's ever needed. Lens is 4X zoom which I find adequate. This lower zoom ratio is due to the large image sensor and the desire to keep the lens short. The Large image sensor works very well in low light conditions is a good trade off. At ISO 16000 an 8 second exposure of landscape illuminated by full moonlight has very little grain.

Yes, the SX110 is heavier, and a little larger . . . but I think the 10X zoom makes up for anything. The screen is surprisingly easy to see, even outdoors. I was hesitant to go without a viewfinder, but now it doesn't bother me. That being said, the 590 is an excellent camera, does 80-90% of the SX110 does, and is DIRT cheap if you shop around. But the 10X zoom on the 110 is something I just love, and I'm glad I went with the 110.

From my understanding, there were noticeable upgrades from the g15 video compared to the g16. I've never recorded a concert, but I have recorded a jam session in a pub in Glasgow as well as the organ playing at the Kelvingrove museum. The sound quality is better than any compact camera I've ever used. Very clear, crisp and true in my opinion. My main issue is it picks up wind when recording outdoors... But I believe that's common with the built in microphones in most cameras... I am also bummed that the hotshoe does not support microphones because the camera itself does not have an audio import Jack... Which would've made it perfect in my opinion... Other than that, the sound quality is really good when recording indoors and on still days outdoors. A side note, I imagine if you are going to concerts with really loud bass and beats (like rock concerts or the like)... I think most cameras will distort sound in general because of the high decibels going on. You'd probably need a proper camera with a proper microphone connected to it to get clean sound in a loud environment like a rock concert. But for something like an orchestra, I think it will be just fine.

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.

Go to KenRockwell.com for his reviews of both cameras. Rockwell thinks that the S90 is a tad better because of the super fast f/2.0 lens and a compact size that makes it easy to always have a camera with you. The G11 takes equally fine photos, but f/2.8 is not as useful for indoor photos without flash...and the larger size and heavier weight mean you probably won't carry a G11 with you 24/7.

I own the G15. It is now a replacement for my Pentax Kr DSLR. The G15 does everything my DSLR does and then some. Pictures are excellent. Even the digital zoom is good for small prints, which is all I do anyway. The HD video is also great. I can even zoom while taking the video. If I ever have a time when I cannot see the LCD screen, I'll use the optical viewfinder. Since the optical viewfinder only shows 75% of the actual picture, it should be rarely used. The LCD works great anyway. I also agree with others that not carrying around the bulky DSLR is another benefit. I'm just an amateur photographer who likes taking good/great pictures and the G15 does that for me. I own the G15. It is now a replacement for my Pentax Kr DSLR.
