My wife brought our G2 back home today as she wanted me to download some pictures she took of her student's projects and i was shocked as to how well the pictures turned out. I'm glad I kept the camera as it has a very solid build and perfect for my wife's classroom use.

Definitely one of the classic digital cameras of all times, with extremely successful combination of lens, sensor and LCD. Had since EOS Rebel and 5d. Now using G2 mainly as a portable digital copier in library work.
