I would rule out the one without the viewfinder. The area doesn't match well on our G10, but still a good option in bright sunlight no matter how good the LCD!!! LuminousLandscape.com is another good place for reviews. If it's too technical, don't worry, skim it and get to the conclusion Canon has a nice trade-in policy. When our G3 lens wouldn't pop out anymore, they offered a G10 for not that much more money than the repair. It didn't make sense not to as the G3 was too long in the tooth - worst part was it couldn't focus fast enough even on a slow moving pet. Just dropped it and the LCD is kaput. I'm wondering if I could upgrade to the new G12 when I send it in....

Thanks! I wanted the blue one, but Wal-Mart ($90 - $25 gift card = $65 out of pocket!!) was out! Phooie. I ordered the silver. I have started using the batteries for digital devices in my Kodak at work and they really are worth the extra money! I had regular rechargeable ones and I could only take 10-20 pictures before they were dead. I used 2 of the digital ones for about 5 months (200+ pics)! I was very surprised as I figured they were just a 'marketing scheme' to get people to buy more batteries. I don't want to have to worry about running out of battery life on vacation. With the AA size, I can pick them up anywhere! Deanna

Steph the higher the ISO the grainier the photos will look as that's adjusting the sensitivity to light of the camera's sensor, similar to using a higher speed film in a film camera. However it shouldn't be so noticeable at ISO 200. More normal would be some graininess at ISO 400 and over so perhaps your interior daylight isn't sufficiently bright. The yellow cast could be be from your white balance setting. Try changing that and experiment with different options. Try the tungsten setting, which you'd normally use for an indoor photo illuminated by incandescent lightbulbs. The camera will then reduce the yellow cast in your photo. Otherwise to get the correct natural colour try the custom white balance using white paper that I mentioned. Sharon

I owe you big time Iowagirl!!! Thank you so much for your help recovering 996 pictures all raw from my card. I ALWAYS take pictures off my card and put them on an external hard drive and burn them too on discs. My laptop is at our summer home as I was there for a few weeks just editing pictures. I knew some were there but didn't know where I stopped downloading them. Right now I have two cards neither will work in the camera and they both say they need to be reformatted...it doesn't work tried several times. It also doesn't matter as I will take the camera in for a cleaning which I do yearly, never had any problems with it in four years and have taken well over 20,000 pics in the past 15 years. New cards are nothing in price compared to some of those recovered pictures. I am going to try and post just a fun one. Again a million thank you very muches?? Oh well you know what I mean even if it isn't a word.!!!!!
