Exactly right on Neil. I'm not familiar with the Canon SX110 or the Panasonic TZ5 - so I won't be of much help. What's real nice about the G10 is how solid it feels and having many of the settings on dials at the top of the camera which gives more of an old-school SLR or Leica feel. The G10 is a touch big & heavy for pockets but... the quality of the images always surprises me. I've never had that experience from a P&S camera before. Alan – Thanks for your comments. Exactly right on Neil.

I used to have a Canon F1 way back when everyone shot film. I had suggested she get a G10 or another compact....but she is a graphic/fine artist and wanted something that would give her museum quality blowups. I thought her photos were great with the D60 and she thought Neil was great playing Old Black (his old stuff....not his new stuff). I'm ready to buy a camera now...and WILL get a compact - any ideas on the G10 versus the SX110 or the Panasonic TZ5. I want something I can carry around in my pocket or my car and always be ready for action. I think your shots are great....hope you enjoyed Neil. For a guy who is in his mid 60's he was amazing. He is one of the few true rock artists who is always exploring new directions. And when he goes back to playing the old stuff he makes it sound brand new (I saw Steve Miller last year and it was sad). AlanKossoff Hi Jon
