If it doesnıt work, try the classic Hexar - an inexpensive way to go first class with good autofocus, many metering modes and very very quiet. Iıve had good luck recently with active kids and the Hexar.

Why not just use the G2 when shooting the little nippers? Aren't they auto-everything? If so, that should do it for fast moving subjects in changing light. And the lenses are reported to be fantastic, on par with Leica optics, according to some. Guy Bennett Los Angeles, CA
