TRIEL between Canon G11, Panasonic LX3 and Canon S90
These three cameras are, in my opinion, the best compact on the market. All equipped with manual controls and some attractions not seen in other compact and even in the DSLR lenses are found only in very expensive, even for this very compact these are nothing cheap. Any cost over 1000 dollars.
Although in 2008 the Panasonic LX3, which has not had a replacement, has a slightly larger sensor than its competitors from Canon but full resolution is 11 megapixels (despite being 10 megapixels effective) against 10 of the two rivals then it does not generate advantage for any of the three, the density is almost the same megapixels
On zoom and focal length, the G11 stands out as his lens has a range of 28-140 mm 28-105 against her sister's S90 and only 24-60 mm in LX3. On one hand this short focal length favors the macros and close-up shots, the compact Panasonic does not fare so well in the landscape shots. Speaking of the macro, only the S90 does not have the super macro 1 cm, falling behind in this race
When it comes to opening 2.0 usually we're talking about powerful lenses for digital SLR cameras, but Canon S90 and the Panasonic LX3 have this amazing opening to the standards of the compact and put the G11 in my pocket with its opening of 2.8 that is still not bad .
Those who follow the blog you know that flash is a historical weakness of the Canon and the long exposures are a strong point of the Panasonic then, these two items the LX3 takes the lead in this dispute: The flash of it has 8.3-meter maximum range against 7 and 6.5 for G11 and S90 respectively, in the long exposure is up to the cowardice of the traditional 60 / 2 Panasonic 15 against two of the Canon but for those who like quick shots and the G11 that is a little more necessary due to its smaller aperture, it reaches 1 / 4000 second, far more than the S90 with 1 / 1600 and the LX3 with 1 / 2000 second.
The Canon S90 is further away from competitors by being the only one of the three has no flash shoe, the G11 is your sister in the leg as the only rival to have an optical viewfinder and LCD mobile , the LX3 is the only possibility with HD video and continuous mode it is much faster than the Canon of the two, however, is limited to 8 photos in sequence. Gave to realize that cameras are very different for these latest reports, each one will appeal to a different type of audience.
Blogger's opinion: What they have in common is that they are all powered by battery type owner, apart from that the S90 was much less "aggressive" than the other two leaving the dispute between G11 and LX3, in my evaluation each gained 6 points generating a technical draw but I tie in favor of the G11 LCD mobile, presence of optical viewfinder and a focal range better than the LX3.
