Early G10 thoughts
« Reply #20 on: October 31, 2008, 11:02:35 am »

The locally posted review of the G10 vs P6000 mentions that the G10 is very sharp: On 60Hz there is a review comparing the G10 and LX3. If you look at the 400 ISO pics, it is clearly the LX3 that wins in sharpness. Any reasons why that would be? OR comments about this in general. Also the pics I saw so far on the web of the LX3 seemed much sharper compared to the G10.

compare the 400 ISO at 100%

What do you think?

I think that there is too much going on to make a reasonable judgement.  

The clue is on the review page "shot in standard colour profile" ie they are jpg files.  In comparing sharpness, all you are doing is comparing the in camera processing of the two models.  You can see evidence of noise reduction in both files.  There will also be in camera sharpening going on though it doesn't seem excessive - HOWEVER - if you are looking at these two cameras because they have RAW capability (their fundamental advantage over most of the others out there) these photographs are fundamentally flawed as a comparison source.

Additionally, they are shot at 1/30th handheld - not good when you are comparing sharpness.

All that said - I think that you are splitting hairs agonizing between the two...I don't know what exactly you have in mind for this camera - but I suspect that ease of operation will be a more important factor than infinitesimally small differences in IQ.  The only way to find out about that is to get your hands on them!

I agree with you. Splitting hairs. Ease of use and lense choice is deciding factor.

Anycase here are some more comparisons, I believe these are screenshops of RAW maybe?

'fraid not - look at the file name - though nothing can be told from a low rez screen grab anyhow.  Perhaps take a card to a store and shoot your own pics.  The issue you will run into at the moment is RAW processors - I don't think either is yet supported in Lightroom
