guys i need couple of advise here ... i am looking at buying this camera but after reading the review.... im kinda confused and wasnt really impressed. pls enlighten me.
reviews were saying that GR has soft output compared to the likes of powershot s80 and other 8meg pixel.
Its really sad to read the comments below :
Firstly the GR-D's output is a little on the soft side (you can make things look a lot crisper if you use software sharpening, but you're not going to get a lot more detail). It's also - for such a wide lens - surprisingly consistent from edge to edge, with little (if any) drop off in sharpness at the corners. Color is accurate and subtle (much more so than the Canon), and overall the impression is that the GR-D is avoiding the 'over-processed' look common to most compact digital cameras. Of course this means the results are a touch noisier and less 'punchy' (and as mentioned, softer) than many competitors.
To be honest I was expecting something a little more impressive from the GR-D; these images are lacking in 'bite' and if you sharpen then you start to see noise, which limits what you can do with the JPEG output.
