I went back there today with Nate, and we met up with Herb at - where else - the Pentax booth. I learned even more today. This time I tried the Canon Powershot S50, which isn't quite as advanced as the G5, but the user interface is much more inuitive IMO. I'd figured out how to change all the settings and modes in under 5 minutes. Again, where is Pentax in this arena?
I also found some great tripods, ballheads, and bags. A very informative show all in all.
