"Canon G-5"? I thought the Canon G-10 was a very nice looking camera and the top of their p&s range...... 14.5Mp and does Raw - great little extra camera for the pocket, a little under $500.
I'm guessing Don Diego made a slip of the keystrokes;
probably thinking of the just announced 5D Mark II --- 21mp, full frame, MSRP $2,699 (that's body only)
I looked at a G10 in camera store today - idle curiosity, I'm not in the market. Nice looking compact with lots of features. So slightly below $500 that local sales tax here pushes it over that point. The salesman said the big deal about it was that it represents a totally new sensor technology from Canon, not just an incremental change to something old from the previous Gs or Ss.
