Liz,
Pls tell me why you went w/ the G9?
I was considering the 850IS and now the G9, but also wondering about the S5.
G9 has more features, though the S5 looks better, is also manual, and has a much better grip. Only seen a review w/ pic of S5 in hand, so I'm not sure about it's size, and feel.
For digi I've only had an Olympus FE190 (used slightly and didn't care for). Nice and small, but image quality was lacking. I'm a film SLR guy, but wanting to get away from film and the wieght/size of SLR's.
Are they're any other digi cams you'd suggest I look at? Hoping to get just one that I will stick w/ for some time.
Your thoughts are appreciated,
Charles
