Hey, what happened to "G-4"? (I guess the G-3 should have been named the G-4 if Canon had their ID numbers and mega-pixels straight).

Gosh, first I was close to purchasing the Canon S40 then it was the S45 or G-3. But I decided to hold off on those for the Olympus C-750UZ (and am still waiting for it to hit the market). Now, here comes the G-5. Man, is that a nice camera.

For digital photo features and camera design the Canons are hard to beat; however, I place a high priority on that standard ultra zoom lens of the Olympus.

Samo,
This is my little baby. It's got Bluetooth Technology and touch screen sensitivity. I love it. This is the one I recorded Fred Perrin doing a Balisong dance, one in each hand. What a master!

TQ

I'm still trying to win the Lottery so I can buy a Canon D60.

...That's MY dream camera.

Hey Travis! That's a Sony ain't it? I'm yet to land my paws on one of these babies! Caught Perrin on tape huh? Whoah! You are one lucky dude! <img src="smile.gif" width=15 height=15 align=middle border=0>

Toothed - Guess Canon had strucked out '4' fro the G-series and went straight to the '5s'... Some good things are worth the wait.. I almost dived into the G-2 bandwagon but instead, settled for the Canon G-3.. *phew!* But I think if you want to optimise the optical factor in terms of clarity in colour reproduction and pixelisation, better settle for a digital SLR camera such as the EOS 10-D! This one's a winner! <img src="smile.gif" width=15 height=15 align=middle border=0>

Samo: I didn't get a chance to thank you earlier for your warm greeting to the forums. So "Thanks!" I've seen your other posts on adventures and adventuring gear. I have to admit, I'm a bit jealous :D Your leading such a rich and exciting life in your world travels. Thanks for sharing some of your experiences with us!

Dpreview.com is a cool site. Helped me decide to buy my Dimage X. This a great camera for anyone wanting to go digital w/out going high-end. It does pics and Quicktime movies,has optical and digital zoom,multiple flash settings,and it's only the size of a MiniDisc player. Prolly the best pocket-sized digital out there.

I have started looking around a little for a digital camera. It will probably be my first purchase with summer job money. right now the pentax 550 optio is looking very good. my current camera is a aps film pentax efina t.

Much obliged Silver Dragon! <img src="spyder.gif" width=15 height=15 align=middle border=0><img src="smile.gif" width=15 height=15 align=middle border=0><img src="spyder.gif" width=15 height=15 align=middle border=0> Yeah, toys and <img src="spyder.gif" width=15 height=15 align=middle border=0>s do go hand in hand.. I live the powershot G-series mainly for its heft, balance and reliability.. helped me a lot when I was confined at home with a fractured leg.. dpreview is an excellent on-line resource to those who are searching for digital cameras to suite their specifications.. <img src="smile.gif" width=15 height=15 align=middle border=0>

HI SAOMO
HAVE YOU SEEN THE NEW CASIO EXILIM AND THE OPTIMA S BOTH ARE COOL TINY CAMERAS. THE OPTIMA FITS IN A ALTOIDS TIN

[toothed]

Recent sighting in a magazine: Leica digital mini-camera. Designed to look like their M-series rangefinder camera. Real sexy.

[sam the man..]

yeah, the Casio's are cool.. But there are some limitations if you want to use them for professional work... <img src="sad.gif" width=15 height=15 align=middle border=0>

I've been having fun with this lil shirtpocket size baby. Eats batteries, butt I guess they all do. I carry six 2100ma AA's and ac/dc charger and a USB card reader and I'm still in a bag smaller than my wife's ready case for her 35MM without flash.

I played with the Canon 1Ds, 11 megapixals, at the store but for $8000.00 it is a wee out of my price range. I'm looking to get a Canon 10D in the next few months and that will be my swicth to full digital. I still use the EOS-5 body and love it. And for little stuff the I find my digital elph to be great.

[sam the man..]

mmmm... the EOS 1-D! Totally C<img src="spyder.gif" width=15 height=15 align=middle border=0><img src="spyder.gif" width=15 height=15 align=middle border=0>L to fiddle around with! Think its waaaay out my range.. Perhaps the 10-D which is more down-to-earth.. Most of the photographers at my office are regular users of the 1-D.. <img src="wink.gif" width=15 height=15 align=middle border=0>
