I think I want a Canon G7...

Mrs. T's blog is a total inspiration. From her fantastic pictures, I can even see the Pope's red Pradas! All because she took the pics using her Canon G7. Fantastic!

I think I want a Canon G7 too!

Went to check out the pricing today at Hardly Normal, its about $699, although there is a reputable store selling it somewhat cheaper. I initially considered the G9 but realised later that the RAW format doesn't really work for me because while I like to consider myself a budding photographer enthusiast, I don't think I am ready to be thrown into the semi-deep end of the DSLR avid lovers pool. So JPEG is really OK for me really. I just wanted something that could give me the option of playing around if I really felt the urge to, which I occasionally do.

CnetAsia says, "The bottom line: The Canon PowerShot G7 acts as a good second camera for professionals or for those who want to have manual controls on a relatively compact shooter."

That second portion sounds exactly like me.

You don't have to shoot pictures in RAW with the g9. It's an option.

Er.. thanks for the clarification. Would be helpful if you had left your name to discuss this further.
