They'll make much nicer pictures than any point and shoot. I am told that some number of people fall in this class, and are very happy with G2 gear. If what you really wanted was an M6, the G2 will drive you nuts with its wirring burping and balking. If what you really wanted was a warp speed SLR system, the G2 will drive you nuts with its wirring burping and balking. My gear closet has a shelf for Canon, and a shelf for M (which is empty 'cause they're all here with me) and a little corner where the G system hides. One day I'll sell it. (I shot my SO's racecar at Pike's Peak Oval with the M6, 75 and rapidwinder yesterday. Almost as easy as with with the EOS gear. Would have been about impossible with the G2. Won't see film till next week though...) bmw
