I love the swivel body, it&#39;s got great exposure control, and though it&#39;s large, it&#39;s not as big as it looks. The lens could be wider (38mm equiv) but it&#39;s at least got a max aperture of 2.0 and a good zoom range.<BR><BR>My only problem with it at this point is image quality -- color rendering is kind of iffy (especially red) and it just seems a bit noisy.]]></description><category>Photo:Compact DSLR Complements</category><author>MikeP</author><pubDate>Tue, 29 May 2007 16:20:07 -0700</pubDate><guid isPermalink="false">trailfire:markId:104119</guid></item><item><title>Canon PowerShot A640</title><link>http://trailfire.com/MikeP/marks/103778</link><description><![CDATA[This is a leading contender for a compact complement to a DSLR, along with the G7 which is pretty similar but a little more semi-pro (and cooler looking).<BR>- 10M<BR>- 35-140/2.8, 1cm macro<BR>- 800 ISO, 1.3 sec start time<BR>- 245g, 109x66x49mm<BR>- list: $350<BR>- swivel screen!]]></description><category>Photo:Compact DSLR Complements</category><author>MikeP</author><pubDate>Tue, 29 May 2007 15:24:21 -0700</pubDate><guid isPermalink="false">trailfire:markId:103778</guid></item><item><title>Canon PowerShot G7</title><link>http://trailfire.com/MikeP/marks/104116</link><description><![CDATA[Similar to the A640.
