Back up studio camera

    I do studio photography as a sideline . I use a d300 . But I need to get a compact camera because my old loyal Panasonic 3 megapixel camera has come to an end .

    I was thinking I could do with a backup studio camera just in case something happened one day while out doing a studio. I do in home studios .

    I was thinking in the lines of maybe a canon g11/ g12

    I've had my d300 for years now in to be honest I'm really happy with it . I don't ever look at new cameras . I just saw that camera in my local photoshop window

    Anybody have any ideas . My budget is around 300/400
    Thanks

    I've tried a G12 in the studio just to see how it fared, and I was pleasantly surprised. It has full manual control over shutter, iso and aperture, and also has a hot shoe that works perfectly fine with most radio flash triggers. Image quality will not be as good as the D300. You could also consider the Canon G1X which has a larger sensor and would improve image quality over the G12.
