I took my time (and a lot of time of a very helpful chap in one of the stores of a certain national chain) and ended up with a Canon Powershot G12 (which I bought online). I thought that 342 with an extra battery, case, SD card and mini tripod was a reasonable price so please don't tell me I could have got it cheaper! Who did you buy from at that price? A rioter? Looks like you've got a good deal. -- Martin If money is an issue but you are interested in high quality results you would have been far better of with a used DSLR, rather than a G12. These cameras are just fine for anyone with limited photographic ambitions, but the fact that you cannot change the lens, means they are far from ideal for more serious photography. Rubbish. Jake never said he was interested in "Serious Photography", anyway the Canon G sereis are particularly fine cameras. As for "anyone with limited photographic ambitions" - you do realise that these cameras are very sophisticated with excellent lenses. I have a Canon 5D Mkll DSLR and a G11. I prefer the G11 for any macro plat shots I take. That puts your arguement in perstective. Bill |
