At first I was trying to compare it to my M's, wrong. It's a great camera with many features, and the glass is great. BUT, the big tell for me was when I traveled to a remote area to backup a friend on a big shoot. He wanted me to get the shots he would miss. I packed the CL and G2 together in my kit (one for color, the other for B&W). After the first four hours my friend saw me sitting in the back seat of the helicopter during a break, with a big smile on my face. He asked what was up? I had the CL on my left and the G2 on my right, and found myself in a very happy place. A perfect compliment of form and function, compact too. A couple days later he calls to tell me how pleased he was with the contacts and slides I produced. He then went on to ask a LOT of questions about both the CL & G2... I think he's turning away from the "N's"!! That's what we have to do, bear witness and convert these people <to high quality goods!>
