FIJEV Tuscan trip: Canon G series preferred camera

Canon G12 compact digital

During the recent FIJEV trip to Tuscany the most popular camera was the Canon G series with 17% of the group owning one. There was a G9, a G10 and a G12, the latest in the series. The missing one in  the series was found on the Friday night dinner near San Gimignano when one of the producers had a G11. The camera is excellent, very portable, although I think it worth investing in a small flash unit like the Canon Speedlite 270EX.

Oh, I wouldn't recommend a flash. It never produces useful pictures... Fun snaps perhaps. But hardly good photos.

Per I need to take photos of events such as the Circle's Christmas party, so flash is useful then. But I agree I try to avoid using the flash if possible.

PS and having a separate flash allows you to direct the light.
