Wow! G2 - that's right, but unfortunately after all these years of 100% reliability and 1000's of images later, the zoom lever is no longer communicaing with the lens :cry: I'm all ready to give up on it and say it's come to the end of it's life, but it's been so brilliant I can't bear to scrap it. I'm pretty certain that the problem is with the lever and have had a brief go at taking it apart with a view to cleaning the connection. After carefully removing the obvious outer screws, I couldn't get the casing open and decided to stop. Is it worth trying to get it repaired professionally or is it time to say the game is up?

I have exactly the same issue with my G3, it sometimes works but is intermittent :( the zoom lever is very loose.

I think it will cost too much even if you can find a replacement part and someone to do the work.

Oh well, the G7 looks interesting. I wonder if it has the same magic ;)

Cheers

Lack of swivel screen has been one factor that has put G diehards off
