Arsham,
I love the photo of your dog! What a handsome fellow...and a good friend, no doubt. You've inspired me to take some more photos of my sweet Bonnie (Cairn Terrier) which I hope to post here soon.
Also....could you tell us more about the lady on the beach photo? Very interesting effect....slow shutter speed? Special post processing?? Do tell.
Re the G10. I've spent many thousands of dollars in the past few years on other cameras and lenses (Ebony 45SU 4x5 and lenses, Pentax 67 lenses, Hasselblad film & digital, including the CFV-II and numerous outstanding Zeiss lenses). All great cameras and lenses, no doubt about it. However, the G10 is the camera I take with me every day. I am truly amazed at the quality some of these small sensor, very portable cameras have achieved. Not the be all and end all of course, but pretty incredible nonetheless.
