And you do have the tiff and raw options -as well as an easy, intuitive menu set up. I also prefer the ergonomics of the C5060. B. D. And yes, I get equipment from Olympus. ;-) - -----Original Message----- From: owner-leica-users@mejac.palo-alto.ca.us [mailto:owner-leica-users@mejac.palo-alto.ca.us] On Behalf Of Stan Yoder Sent: Saturday, March 06, 2004 4:47 PM To: leica-users@mejac.palo-alto.ca.us Subject: [Leica] Alternative to Digi2: G5 or C5060? OK, the Canon G5 and Olympus 5060 have been mentioned here recently as having merit. Any consensus about which is better, if at all? The G5 has a 1-stop faster lens, which might make it easier to put backgrounds out of focus, repeat 'might.' Anything the 5060 has that the G5 doesn't? From what I can read, the G5 only outputs in JPEG, whereas the 5060 apparently will do TIFF and RAW as well, eliminating compression artifacts. But when I handled a G5 at a store I thought, repeat 'thought' I was able to get a TIFF choice in the menu. Anyone confirm that?
