You the one who posted pics of his snow-covered Z4 over at roadfly.com?
Nope. That Z4 shot was taken in the middle of what seemed like a million people at Detroit this year. I'm more of a fan of that German company which specialises in two-door cars. ;) Though if I needed a Sedan, a Bimmer would definitely be it. Motorcycle too probably.

For all I know they could have.

I'm guessing high end Canon, Nikon and Olympus digicams took at least 80% of these great pics?

I wish in addition to providing links to the pics they'd also specify what digicam they used.

GTaudiophile - You're REALLY making me wanna buy a G2.

How much better is the new G3 vs the G2?

Is it worth the price diff?

I really don't know jack about picture taking, especially compared to the likes of these people.

A few months after I got my Canon G2, on a nice and warm Spring day in 2002, I took my camera and the user's manual to Centennial Olympic Park in Atlanta and did 3-4 hours of shooting. (I took a 256MB CF card to allow me to do this.) I just went through the book, taking a picture on every different setting I could find. I eventually started to find the combinations I liked. But, even today, I don't use 90% of the automatic features the G2 offers. I just stick it on "M" mode (manual) which allows me to adjust the focal point apperature, shutter speed, focus point, ISO, etc. as necessary. Once I think I have the right setting for the situation/given lighting situation, I press the shutter button down half way to make sure it all looks right, frame the picture, and press the shutter button all the way down to take the picture. If I know I'll be taking a lot of pictures in one lighting situation, I'll take a few test shots on arrival, get my settings right early on, and don't have to adjust as much as the day goes on.

If we're talking about flowers...

Yellow Flower (taken with G2)
Yellow Flower (taken with S10)

WOW!!! both are so clear! but one with s10 looks better for me!! how much do these camera cost?

Yes, the S10 came through on that picture. But, on average, it lags WAY behind the G2. The S10 is actually an old camera that is no longer in production, but it cost $250 at the time. I bought my G2 in November 2001 for some $700.

RossMAN: The G3's changes are mostly cosmetic. It has a little more optical zoom and with the Digic processor may work a little faster, but the G2 and G3 use the same CCD. I've done plenty of side-by-side comparisons, and if money is a concern, get the G2 over the G3, and spend the difference on accessories.
