Very cute, boB. How are you liking the G11?

Canon's G11 is an interesting camera and it fills a gap in our lineup. We have dSLRs and bought a tiny Canon SD1100 for casual use but it has real trouble with even ISO 400. The G11 looked like something we could carry when we don't want the bulk of a SLR (and we have small SLRs).

The G11 has all the manual controls anyone could want, captures RAW, and does HDR sets. ISO 800 is easily good enough for web use and with a f/2.8 IS lens that makes the G11 a potentially decent night camera. I may actually carry it for a day at WDW to see just how it does in the real world.

I won't post this photo to avoid getting in trouble in a pet photo thread, this is a G11 HDR view from my office window and shows that the G11 may be a real camera:

That is a nice shot! I havent been over in the other photo threads lately, but keep us posted how it works at WDW.

Just catching up. Awesome photos, guys!

Michelle, I'm sorry to hear Ivan was sick. I hope he's feeling better now. It must be really great to have a horse as a pet (lots of hard work, I'm sure).

Bob, hoping you share lots more of your pet photos taken w/ your G11. Always good to see what a camera like that can do. I was just looking over some settings from my S3 and noticed the aperture on it goes to f/2.7 at its widest. What's your opinion of whether this on the S3 differs in any way from that on the G11? Is the sensor bigger on the G11? What's the zoom like on the G11? (Sorry to discuss here but I'm curious. As the OP, I say it's ok. )

This is our baby Jack...I dressed him up and had a Fall photo shoot! He hated every minute of it!

Too cute! These should also be on the Fall Assignment thread!

Love this!

I got a second opinion and he finally got well! I rode him yesterday for the first time since he's been sick and apparently he felt better because he wanted to GO GO GO!!

We rescued a stray cat about 2 months ago when she was about 2 steps from death. Poor thing weighed only 5 pounds and you could feel every bone in her body. We wanted her to be a barn cat, but she had other ideas so she's in the house now! We weighed her the other day and she is 11 pounds!! She over doubled her weight in 2 months so that just shows you how starved she was!

She is finally venturing out of the bedroom that she calls "home". Here she is checking out the litter boxes that belong to the other 3 cats...

Here's Autumn wishing Olive (the new cat) would go back outside!!

Timmy checks her out...

Charlie is the most accepting of the bunch and lets her get near him most of the time..

Michelle, they are all adorable!!!

Great story We had 6 cats up until mid Sept. We had to have our old girl put to sleep My DD was calling me the crazy cat lady. We live in a 3 bedroom ranch on .34acres in a residential neighborhood and I don't think we have too many. They aren't a problem at all. Though, we use a kids plastic swimming pool for a litter box Its in the basement and it works out great! They love it. 4 of the 5 are in and out cats and 1 is an indoor cat. I think it becomes 'crazy' when you have so many you can't take care of them properly.

My Grace, doing what we both love and reinforcing my absolute addiction to agility.
This weekend pulled her to within two runs of her first championship (120 qualifiers needed, with 118 in the bag)
She weaves so tightly, that she closes the eye closest to the poles.

Some Labs can fly. She smiles and laughs all the way through every course.

She finally came around to understanding that this is a team sport.

She's a beautiful girl, Laura
