Using the G2

Read the piss/poor manual.
Based on its options, this camera needs some knowledge to operate it well.
I'm used to the Nikon F with its attachments.
The Canon power shot A5 zoom I use to use just worked.
Going up the learning curve on my G2.
Better pics, once I figure it out.

Agreed!
It has taken me a while with the G1, as well.

Frequently I have to use manual mode for really close up shots (either because of focusing or flash reduction).

I haven't used my Canon F1 (35mm) in ages. I used to get some remarkable detail shots with it when doing restoration work.
The F1 is about as manual a camera as you can get without using separate film/backs for each shot!

Cannot argue the convenience of a digital camera though.
If somebody asks for a picture of how a part goes in a car, and twenty minutes later they have it via E-mail:D
