I’m not sure how that would work, I’m thinking no you wouldn’t get less noise. Also the increased resolution means that artifacts are smaller. The lower the resolution, the more block noise artifacts become. Interesting question though…

I have the same question:

If I set a smaller resolution,
lets say about 10 MP, would it be possible to get less noise?
Thanks

Have
ordered the G10
Maybe a stupid question,
but when I set a smaller resolution,
lets say about 10 MP, would it be possible to get less noise?

Can someone please explain how to use the exposure compensation on the G10,
I just bought it last Sunday.
Thanks a lot.

Nice to know some of you got good results at ISO 400 on a G10. I suppose that would be on days/pics when there is bright and even lighting.

My experience with my G10 versus 10D was : Low ISO 80/100 outdoors : G10 is great !!!

High ISO 200/400, Indoor : I rather carry that extra weight of my 5 year old 10D dSLR as that gives better pics than the newly released G10.

I though 5 years of technical march forward would put 10D performance into a compact camera. Boy, was I wrong !!!

ISO 800 and above : Why are they even there on the G10 ? Who are they kidding !!!

i too have Both the Lx3 and G10 I am keeping one of them, it’s probably the G10 The controls are so intuitive and quick, the stacked dials are superb, the screen is awesome.. the ergos are stellar! picture taking with the G10 is more Fun. the Zoom is just too shallow (60MM) for the Lx3.. side by side .. and photos taken at the same settings indoors and out the G10 colors are more realistic, and saturation is perfect . Plus the add on Tele converter for the G10 is nice.. I have the adaptor and tele and it rocks!.. Neither camera is “pocketable” if the Lx3 was truely Pocketable I would have to give it points.. but it is just big enough where it is NOT pocketable.. (pants)

The Lx3 is a nice Indooor Party type camera with its lighter weight, faster lens and 4 mm wider angle, not to say the 28mm G10 is a slouch.. but..
outdoors.. I opt for the G10.. its 28mm vs 24mm is not that much of a diff, but the zoom is a HUGE diff
I compared extreme aperatures on each at max zoom, at 80, 100 and 200 iso.. the G10 wins.. in my opinion..

I was actually going to keep both because I liked the LX3’s fast lens and wider range (plus HD capabilities). But having the G10 for a few weeks, I leave the LX3 at home. Ultimately, I like using the G10 a lot more and the images I get from it are more to my taste (less processed and more DSLR like).

Letting go of the LX3 is tough, but I just like using the G10 more.

Actually the reviewer said ISO 400 is useless, which I’m sure is an exaggeration.

I noticed you had both the G10 and the LX3, which do you like better and why?
