Re: High end compact?
Until the G9 comes with a wide lens, I wouldn't consider it. I find many times that a wide-angle lens is needed for the photos that I would like to shoot. I considered getting a G9 for quite awhile, but now am looking at the Canon SD870 for my travel pics (motorcycle). It also has optical stabilization, but not the manual settings that you will see on the G9. It also has no viewfinder, which could be a problem on sunny days. However, it is slim with a large screen. For capturing life's moments with a helmet on, I think it is a good camera to have along.
