I have it and also a G11 and could not imagine being without either. I'd say don't do it. Find something else to sell if you need to raise money for a G11. I used E-Bay to clear my basement of old stereo gear in order to get my G11.

You will really get addicted to the low light capability and the articulating screen, neither of which the G10 has. Although it is a good camera, the people who have a G10 and recommend it over the G11 just don't know. Be patient and do the right thing !

But there is no way I would give up an L lens for my G11. PS3? No problem, but then again, I don't game! ...it's just a hobby....it's just a hobby......it's now a illness!

I can see a difference between my G11 and my 5D with an L lens on it, (Duh!) and that kind of image quality is why I invested in my gear. But sometimes big gear is too heavy for really long walks or all day outings.

However, I would suggest keeping the flash as that can be used on both your DSLR and the G if needed. John Baker
