Hmmmm....

Not a lot of change from the G3.

Same lens, same USB1.1, same controls, same accessories.

Black color and 5MP. 4x digital zoom no one uses...

I'll be interested in the upcoming reviews...

... And list price at around US$ 900!



Boy, am I glad I got my G3 in March!!! I mean it!

US$ 900 for one more lousy megapixel and a black body?

But they added a "Sport" setting to the available modes on the dial!

C'mon, that alone is worth a couple hundred... :-)

Not only that, but when I got back to the store, 28 days after I bought my G3, they had lowered the price by a hundred dollars. They have this policy which guarantees you the lowest price for 30 days and it includes their own store, of course. So I got my original bill and made 115$* instantly :^)

I'm specially interested if they fixed the lame autofocus performance or not... otherwise I still prefer the G3.
