I just got a G9 and am looking forward to using it soon. I think Tommy is getting one too, so we'll be a bunch of P&S shooters in Africa https://photography-on-the.net …/showthread.php?t=1203740

You can see the helipad on the pictures: that UFO shaped platform on top of the building. robz wrote in post #4387711 im going there in jan, and we're staying at that hotel. im excited about the pic opportunity i'll get Lucky you! You must post some shots from the interior as well. Thanks Tareq. (Now I'm back in Finland, it zero degree and snowing lightly - quite a difference.) Yes, just guess how many times. (But I have heard you might be able to get reasonably (?) priced packaged tours from UK to that hotel. Not sure if that is still true.) My Instagrams

I don't know anyting about Ricoh, but if you are happy to shoot with low ISO, then G9 might be a good camera for you. (What I take next with me is either gorillapod or beanbag. It was not easy to find a good support for long exposures.) My Instagrams
