Re: Canon G2
I traded up from a Canon S10 to a G2 for Christmas 2001. So far I've shot about 2000 pictures and 60 video clips, and I love it.
I've had a lot of fun with the manual controls, getting pics now I couldn't before; and at the same time, the automatic mode is really good. I used to regularly go back and use Photoshop to tweak brightness and dynamic range in my S10 shots; with the G2 output, I hardly ever need to.
Accessory-wise, I bought a 1Gb Microdrive and a spare battery. I really like having the space on the Microdrive. Battery life has been very impressive, and I've rarely swapped batteries in the field.
I've got two albums of miscellaneous shot from the G2 on the web:
SF misc, 8 pics
NY misc, 58 pics
The larger size images are reduced from the original 2272x1704 files.
The gallery software I used, BTW, is the excellent BreezeBrowser. I highly recommend it for its handling of Canon-specific image features and its lossless JPEG manipulation.
