Or is it a guess knob type of thing? I know it has AF, but I've never been entirely clear on the MF part. I used a G1 that the local rep loaned me for a few days, and I'm not sure how I feel about it. I used the AF mode all the time, and felt it had a bit of a delay that I just couldn't get used to. Other than that it was okay. It feels a lot tougher than it looks. Also, that death ray, laser beam, IR thing seemed to draw a lot of attention when I used it. Regards, Ben W.
