Hola<BR><BR>I posted this in a different thread and got maybe one reply there directly to me, so I thought I would ask again. I apologize for the redundancy but thought it might garner more responses if it stood alone...<BR><BR>does anyone own the Canon Powershot G2, and if so, do you like it? I am thinking of buyin a new camera very soon to take with me on my various trips, plus, I have at least seen some aerial shots with it and they seem quite impressive - great detail. would be nice to snap a picture of Mom 'n Dad's ranch from the air, with it.<BR><BR>anyone have direct experience with it? or other advanced digicams - I am not an amateur but neither am I a pro. (far far from it).<BR><BR>I admit to not being on top of the new stuff - my digicam is 2.5 years old... what is a microdrive?<BR><BR>thanks.

Take a look at<BR><BR>www.dpreview.com<BR><BR>which is probably the most comprehensive site for digital photography information. I have the Nikon 5000 and the Cannon A1, both of which are good for their intended purposes.

I do not own a Canon G2 - but from reading papers comparing digital cameras, this is the very model I would go for. A colleague of mine does own a G2 and is very pleased with it.

The G2 is one of the best cameras on the market! If I had to do it over again I would have purchased it over the Epson PhotoPC 3000Z with which I have taken the digital pictures on my web site.<BR><BR>Good Luck..<BR>www.vacationtechnician.com

Just came back from Greece and took tons of photos with the G2 and very satisfied with it. Great sharp images and 30 second videos. The only gripe I have with it is the lense cap design. Can't go wrong with it. But I do recommend buying a bigger memory.

thank you all!!!<BR><BR>how much memory, happy? would 256K be enough for 2 weeks or so worth of pics? (ok, make that 400-500 pics, I take a LOT).<BR><BR>how easy are the batteries to charge over there? do I have to buy a converter or may I take extras & forgo the converter (my current camera usually has enough juice to last me ten days, but I am sparing on the LCD and take most of my photos with my regular camera, like 80/20- as this one is SO nice I might change that ratio a bit)<BR><BR>would love to see you photos, happy! are you planning to post a link?
