i've read reviews, but i'd like opinions from people who have used/owned both. and would an s45 be a better alternative to the g2?
 
haha, stop making me laugh. the s45 would not be a better alternative for the g2. People need to stop equating 2 cameras with the same mp rating will produce the same quality of pictures. Yes, the s45 is compact, but a smaller lense = less quality.

I've used both, and I would say the G3 is better, but for the money, you're better off getting the G2. The price increase is not worth the extra price at least in my mind. Keep in mind I shoot mainly film since I really don't like digital all the much. It also depends on what you're going to use it for.

edit: no on the s45 idea 😉
 
Realistically? About the only thing you are gaining is a wee bit more zoom. Really nothing more IMHO. And I actually like the button layout on my G2 better than the G3.

If you can get a G2 for a $150-$200 cheaper, go that route. You won't be disapointed. It's going on three years old, but it's STILL one of the best "prosumer" camera's out there.

I'd be skeptical...very skeptical. There has to be something wrong with it. The battery alone is worth about $60+.

Perhaps it's just the box? 😉

its a package of accessories for the g2, not the camera itself
