Hi Everyone,

So I am looking to take pro camera quality late 90’-2000’s style pictures of family and friends.

What I have seen is that there is two distant types of images from this era. The ‘digicam’ look and the slr/ early dslr look.

I thought getting the G2 and G5 would give me the look I’m going for but the photos are too digicam looking. I think something like the Canon 5D (2005) would be perfect buts it’s too big.

Ironically the G9 gives me close to the images I want. Is this because the prosumer cameras of the late 2000’s closer match the specs of the early 2000’s pro dslr cameras?

Should I stick to the later G9-12 cameras if chasing the early dslr look of the 2000’s or something like a G7X mark I and tweak the settings?

Thanks

Hi all,

Please remove if not allowed but is anyone selling any of these cameras especially the G11 in the UK?

I’m struggling to find these in good condition and tired of buying off eBay and being burnt when they don’t arrive in condition that was advertised or they stop working soon after. That’s even if the order isn’t cancelled when I ask questions for clarity.

Most sellers have no returns and eBay always takes their side ‘as the item wasn’t far off from described.’

I have no problem paying a fair or even high price but I keep getting screwed. Reputable camera stores are an option but the G2+G5 are never stocked, while £350/400+ for a G11 with only a charger and battery no box etc is too much of a rip off even for me.

These are my dream cameras and it’s so annoying that sellers are low-key trying to screw people while the demand is high.

Thanks

Hi everyone,

So I am team canon and needed some advice on the old g series.

I currently have the G7X mark i (2014) and to me it is the best out of the three G7X’s, as it’s the oldest and least digital / sterile / overly sharp looking.

However, I recently got a G9 and the SOOC jpegs are wow. I also tried the G10 and it’s similar but just slightly not as good colour rendering wise (also i think 35mm is better than 28mm for casual portraits).

My question is that I am looking to buy two more g cameras but don’t know which.

Im currently thinking about the G2 & G5.

There is also the G6 and G7. But, I’ve been told that the G6 is a worse G5.

Also, the general consensus I’ve seen is that if you cram more mp into the same sized sensor it makes the camera more grainy?

People love the G9 over the G10 for this reason, however following this logic shouldn’t the G7 get more love than the G9? It has less mp in the same lense but I don’t hear near as much about it compared to the G9?

Any help and opinions welcome.

Thanks

Hi,

This was suggested to me, I think it is very cringy but the dating market is rubbish so thought why not.

Yesterday I saw a women driving a blue car with an attached bike on the back. We exchanged multiple long looks but it was at a Stevenage/hitchin roundabout by the motorway, so I couldn’t really act on it.

Anyway, if you see this I would have introduced myself and offered my number if it was safe to do so.

Hi,

Earlier today I saw a pretty girl driving a blue car with an attached bike on the back, on a roundabout by the motorway near Stevenage. At the stop she was staring at me and then all of a sudden her dad, who was in the passenger started staring too. Looking back I think she was checking me out and maybe said something to her dad? Anyway I’ve experienced glances and looks but never like that before so was caught off guard.

Just curious has anyone experienced something like this before? Is so what did it mean?

P.S Just generally curious, as it wasn’t road rage or not interested in your thoughts.
