[kermalou]

i really wanted a g2 or g3 but what is comparable....?

Why's that?

With the new G5 coming out, and the prices shifting, the G3 is one of the best buys in the Cannon lineup right now.

id say def a G3

but i like olympus ones also

I ended up getting a Minolta Dimage S414, I love it.

It's pretty much G3 level, albeit at a much lower price point.

Umm the lastest post in that thread was 7/22. Hardly an old thread. And i didn't crap in your thread. If you wanted to call me something, call me a repost nazi. Cause this was a REPOST.

There is a digital camera thread (basically the same thread every time) every couple days.

sigh paid $400 for my S30 a yr + ago.. now it's not even worth 100 less... *sniffs and nags*

Next camera - digital SLR - i just can't stand the delays when taking photos - I hate waiting for the lens to focus + the time taken between shots...

It uses standard AA's, you could use 2200 mah NIMH's if you wanted. I currently use 1950 mah.

Compare the Canon PowerShot G5, Nikon Coolpix 5400, Sony DSC-V1 and Sony DSC-F717

• The absolute resolution of all four cameras on this page is very similar, all managed approximately 1400 lines per picture height in the horizontal direction and 1300 lines per picture height in the vertical direction. The Sony's managed to continue the ability to resolve detail further than Canon or Nikon, perhaps Sony use a weaker anti-alias filter or have better optimized demosaic algorithms.

717 @ Sears for only $540(included tax)
