I think when we photo people discuss a product and some of us do not own
the product but we own up to the fact that we don't own it it is
entirely possible that our points might be at least as valid as people
who own that product but have only a surface working knowledge of its
use. People who just haven't exposed enough film though it to understand
its real value and use. But perhaps would like to justify its presence
on their shelf.
Not that the sweetness of my grapes might not be in question.

I don't as we know own this camera. But this statement seems doubtful as
I don't think the G2 was made for the professional market as it's price
and design reflect. If you could elaborate I would be interested. The
visions I have been given of G2's piled high in the pawn shops don't
include them being in perfect working order. 
I respect the fact that you have specifics in mind or right in front of
you and would honestly like to know the details.
