I suggest you compare the G3 and G5 before making that decision. I have a G3, and recently had the opportunity to shoot a few shots with the G5. I think the G3 is superior overall. The difference between 4 and 5 MP is minor, the the G5 seems to have noticeably more noise in low light situations. DPReview also found more color fringing with the G5 than the G3. Here's a summary quote from dpreview.com: ====================================== Image quality and resolution are as good as we can expect from a compact five megapixel, Canon's excellent demosaic and sharpening algorithms delivering detailed, clean images. I had wondered why Canon didn't choose to introduce the G5 in Photokina last year and simply skip the G3, the answer it appears is among our test results. The G5 suffers from higher noise than the G3, and notably higher than the competition, it also has a chromatic aberration problem which is more than I would expect to see on a modern digital camera. ======================================= ===== Bob Meyer I wish I knew what I know now, when I was younger... http://www.meyerweb.net/epson __________________________________ Do you Yahoo!?
