final choice: olympus 750/hp 850/canon G3

Hello everybody,

i need your help to chose a digital camera..

the options are:

OLYMPUS 750
HP 850
CANON G3

what i am looking for is:

SUPERB QUALITY PICTURE (colors and details) - I am coming from a canon S20
and i am not happy with it (very very poor colors). I spend far too long on
photoshop to adjust my pics and cannot have a decent result anyway.

DECENT ZOOM

SOME MANUAL CONTROLS

What would you suggest among mentioned cameras?

Here in Italy prices for the HP and the Olympus are similar. The G3 costs a
bit more but, if it is worth it, i could pay more to get what will give me
the best results for what i need.

Thank you very much for your help

Ric

 

Canon G3 would be the best choice from all points of view.

 

From that list, the G3.

 

G3 without a doubt.

The G3 is no longer being sold in the U.S., aside from some old stock and
some refurbished ones. The G5 has replaced it, at the same price. Even the
closeouts of the G3 (new ones) are about the same as the G5.

 

Use the Comparometer at http://www.imaging-resource.com/IMCOMP/CDISPLAY.HTM
You will see that there's little difference between G3 and C750 image quality.
