Don,
That's just too much of an open ended question. If the lack of
a swiveling viewfinder is a deal breaker I think you will be very
limited in your choices, and in fact may have had the decision made for
you already.
I wonder if anyone has made a search tool where one could check
off the features desired and see what matches. I imagine this would be
very helpful to camera shoppers, especially with point-and-shoots.
Actually, dpreview has such a search tool. It doesn't quite include
all of the factors I would like to consider but when I use it, leaving
many areas undefined, it comes up with the G11 and the G10. Factor in
the swiveling LCD and I guess my question is answered. The fact that
no one has cited direct hands on experience indicates to me that it is
still too new for folks to have bought and evaluated. Maybe I can be
the first. Now I have to find one.
Thanks to all who responded. Now back to regular programming.

I can't tell you how many times I've had people ask me what
camera they should buy. I usually don't have an answer but, rather, a
lot of questions. So, I'll do the same with you--other than the
swiveling viewfinder, what do you want this camera to do and what do
you plan to do with it? How compact should it be? How much shutter
lag is acceptable? What ab
oes it need a good macro function? Does it need to do well in low
light? Image stabilization? What's your budget? Does it need to
shoot RAW?
Now, what kind of car should I buy?

Nikons since I bought a Nikon S2 in 1958 at the base exchange in
Yokosuka, Japan. I have used S rangefinders, Nikkorrexes, Nikkormats,
and various F models as well as Nikonos and Coolpixes and now the D
series SLRs. But right now it seems that Nikon doesn
k I want. That would be the Canon Powershot G11. Has anyone on the
list used one of these yet or have any suggestions for substitutes?
One absolute requirement is the swiveling LCD. Other criteria may be
altered.
