Your right Jonathan, I should have never doubted you. I believe I'll take the day off tomorrow for penitence.
I still want to know WHY the price of the G10 is going through the roof? My used Canon was worth $50.00 and I had paid over $400.00 for it, these G10s are SELLING for close to $500.00 on eBay as used and going for over $900.00 new. Why? John By the way, I still don't doubt you, I am doing a research paper on peoples answers to tough questions so you are helping tremendously.
