Oops!I was talking about the focus changing when power cycling the camera re reading your thread I can see you were not talking about turning the camera off only the screen so you can blame me for mis reading your post

Oh cool. I did hear about one individual who was using a G1 for time lapse but I didn't know anything about that person's power supply set up.There are quite a few people doing time lapse with the various Gs.?
Me paranoid? Lol. It's just common sense that an EVF and an LCD will draw more battery power than a camera using a purely optical viewfinder. In particular an LCD screen. I admit that I have never used a still camera that has an EVF. My only prior experience with EVFs are with video cameras and those things are intensely power hungry.Perhaps your fears about power usage by the EVFs or LCDs are misplaced.
Ive purchased a cheap Hong Kong intervalometer from eBay. Looks to be the same input socket. It works on my Canon EOS 30 35mm SLR. Though the main reason why I bought it was to use with my Canon 1014 Autozoom Electronic Super 8 motion picture film camera. It plugs into the movie camera okay but the interval timer does not work with that camera. I used to have the original interval timer that Canon made specifically for the 1014 (manufactured during the 1970s) but unfortunately that has disappeared.Are you using an intervalometer?
since you're at it, I thought I'd remind you that the G1 is no more a compact than the EOS Rebel series is. The major difference is they have an EVF over the optical pathway of the EOS. Both have similar sized sensors, similar shutter types and interchangable lenses. So compared to compacts (and real Prosumer seems to have disappeared) they're in a different league.I was looking at a number of digital compacts from different brands as possible candidates for time lapse photography. From the specs, they all seemed quite impressive, versatile and had a great deal of manual control combined with good image quality. However, upon closer scrutiny, they all had some sort of restrictive short coming that would be a nuisance for time lapse shooting.
Exactly. What I was getting at in my previous post was that I had basically given up even considering compacts for time lapse. I had shifted my focus over to DSLRs or perhaps something in between a compact and a DSLR. It was only fairly recently that I discovered about the micro 4/3rds format. I have seen a very similar diagram to the one in your post. Very good at illustrating the difference in sizes between the different formats.So compared to compacts (and real Prosumer seems to have disappeared) they're in a different league.
:salute:Pellicle, that's a nice little demo or presentation.
