Bob,

I have a G9 (I HATE IT , HATE IT HATE IT), a Canon 1Ds MKII, and a
Leica M8, all of which work transparently with Aperture.

I hate the G9 because 1) the polarizing orientation of the screen is
exactly 90 degrees from every other camera I've owned so I cannot use
it with either my polaroid cycling prescription glasses or my regular
prescription glasses. 2) the lens flares horribly. I'm hoping the G10
is better although I might look at the new Nikon instead. I also have
a small Panasonic and a Fuji F30 that my wife uses. The Panasonic has
lousy noise characteristics while the F30 is wonderfully noise free
but the zoom lens just doesn't cut the mustard. No free lunches in the
world of point and shoot cameras!

My standard workflow is to download from the memory card to my
computer, back up to another device, and then import into Aperture
from there, or scan with CS3's Bridge application.

Best regards and keep snapping!

Adam
