Deciding on 2 cameras at the moment. Should I get the canon G10 PowerShot, or the PowerShot SX1 IS? I want a really good versatile digital camera. I love the DSLR, but really don’t have the money for one, plus I already own a 35mm SLR. Video is really not the issue at the moment. All I want is a camera that takes great pics in low light, even some night shots and sun light. Please help.

I have the SX1 it is a great all in one but It has trouble focusing in low light even with the AF assist beam on. The G10 or now the G11 is much better in low light.
I bought the SX1 mainly because, to me, it is the best cross between a camcorder and still shot camera. It takes GREAT 1080p videos with stereo sound and allows for optical zooming while recording, not many point and shots do that.
But for the low light issue I would go for the G10 or G11.
For taking good pictures in low light I would suggest Canon G10.I have heard a lot of complain that SX1 is too noisy,noise reduction effects visible at anything over ISO 80http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B001G5Z…
