thinking of new camera, help decide

[Tom R]

I had a Canon G9 and it took amazing pictures and fit in the palm of your hand. I sold it and now have a Canon T1i DSLR and it takes a much superior picture. DSLR are not that convenient for carrying around during activities and on holidays. They are somewhat cumbersome and heavy.

Neither of these cameras are what I would call waterproof. I do not think I would take either of them near the water without a special waterproof box.
