So versatile/so stylish/so compact
( - 4/8/05)When looking for a new digital, I wanted something small enough to fit easily in my shirt pocket, but large enough to have a good optical zoom. As an Architect, styling was also VERY important. The G500 fit the bill to a "t". It has more custom features/settings than I will ever use; has a great 30 movie feature; will store to two different storage formats [which can both be in the camera at the same time, allowing on to switch back and forth]. The picture quality, while not as fine as my Nikon SLR is more than adequate for the "snapshots" that I use it for. [For the important things, I use the Nikon]. While the flash does not overpower, I find myself able to take even low level interior shots without flash. . .the camera is that good.
Given the number of customizing options, the controls are fairly intuitive and progressive, unlike the Olympus that I had before. Overall, I'm extremely satisfied.
