You really do get what you pay for. I guess that for one or two thousand (USD) more, I could get a camera that would be more like something Adam wants, but it would have to seriously challenge the capabilites of my two R's. For special shots - always my R8 or R9 and appropriate lens For every day; the G9. Bob On Sep 27, 2008, at 11:24 AM, Adam Bridge wrote: I have a G9 and I'm not that thrilled, Slobodan. It suffers from a nasty lens flare (I discovered this week), the rear screen on the G9 has the wrong polaroid orientation if you happen to wear polaroid glasses, and the myriad of controls and menus isn't as well thought out as it might have been. I'm going to look at the Nikon equivalent since I think there's a new one. But perhaps the G10 is better. I know for use while I'm cycling the G9 sucks and not in a good way.
