Sony V1 / Canon G5 ??

[Yongliang]

Hi all

I will be returning back to spore in 6 weeks' time.
I'm now using Sony F707.
It has served me really well, and I could not really find any major fault with it. The prob is that I find it too much a hassle to lug such a big camera around, esp while travelling.
So I would like to switch to a more portable DC.

Just like to ask the experts here for any opinions on the following 2 DCs I have shortlisted.
1. Canon G5 ( is the CA prob that bad? )
2. Sony V1

Basically, I'm still looking for a 5mp DC, with at least 4x zoom.
Any advice? Thanks =)

How about the Nikon 5400.. fits your requirements as well.. Just helping u to shortlist..

well since u have been using 707, i would recommend Sony v1. Since most of the functions of 707 can be found in V1. V1 has many good reviews from those ppl bought it....

Handled the V1 at harvey norman. Battery looks really small. The salesman say can only last 1 hour. That's a concern I suppose.
