I bought the G2. Most of the the above issues apply, except I haven't noticed trouble with my EX flashes (except for the Sigma EF 500 Super, which isn't really an EX) or the color blooming. I have also been quite frustrated with the focus on several occasions. My biggest disappointment with the G2 is what I consider to be unacceptably terrible barrel distortion at the wide end of the zoom. When you get a good shot with it, though, it's really good. I think for the price it's a good camera. --Ken S. * **** ******* *********************************************************** * For list instructions, including unsubscribe, see: * http://www.a1.nl/phomepag/markerink/eos_list.htm ***********************************************************
