I am looking to replace my aging Olympus compact with either of the above mentioned cameras.
My main camera is a EOS 30D with 24-105, 60 macro and 100-400 Canon lenses.
My eight year old son regularly uses the Olympus and is geting more interested in photography and on occassions I have supervised his use of the 30D, which he has done well with, but he struggles with the weight and is nervous when using it.
I am keen to nurture this interest and am bearing this in mind when making my choice. The Olypmus is a basic point and shoot.
My instinct is to go for the G11 as it will help my son learn the settings of a DSLR with out the weight or bulk and provide me with a good back up for my 30D.
Are there any major perfomance differances or what would your advice be?
Thanks in advance
