The G9 looks like the next camera for me. I like the idea of an
optical view-finder. This leica fan has lots of nice things to say
about the G9 but the optical view-finder is not one of them. He seems
to use the LCD display.

Can anyone add to this ?

What are you using the camera for? The G9 is kind of expensive for a small-
sensor P&S camera, even if it does have lots of nice features. For about the
same price you can get a Nikon D40 SLR which will take better pictures in
situations when your lighting isn't perfect.

Probably meant to say the Canon A650IS. No RAW, but swivel LCD, same
lens-sensor-stabilization-DIGIC III system.
IMHO the way to go, VERY nice camera with loads of functionality.

That is correct. It has a good enough build and about $100 less
expensive. The only thing I do not like about it is that it does not
come in black.
