I have specifically said that it has fabulous glass, and can take terrific photos, but it is NOT a rangefinder in anything like the traditional sense of the word and it is, in essence, a glorified interchangable lens P&S. And I'd repeat that to anyone's face. (By the way, I even said that if I had extra photo income I'd love a G2 as a day-in day-out carry camera. And you're right about the longevity of the thread.;-) B.
