I think I'll pay a visit to Jessops and see what they recommend (if
different) before finally making up my mind.


Perhaps shoppong around will come up with a better price , eg Amazon quote a
good price.

Quite right. Jessops online was the cheapest I'd found the G12 but
Amazon clearly beats that. A chat in the shop won't hurt though. I
doubt I'll buy one there and I don't think they could complain if
having chatted I said I wanted to think a bit before buying, given the
price.

It's galling that a few times today I'd have (almost!) given my right
arm for a camera capable of taking some opportunist shots of little
things including a spider I've never seen before. Once you start
thinking about something you notice these opportunities more; at least
I do.

Cheers, Jake
