Immediately after realzing that Sony was screwing over the industry, I sold my DSC-S70 and moved over to a completely different brand. Everybody had good things to say about Canon, and they were a recognized name. My first Canon was a PowerShot G2, based on countless reviews stating that the company had listened to its G1 users and implemented revisions in the sophomore effort. I love when corporations do that, don't you? Sure enough, the G2 was an amazing camera for its time – even though it was competing head-to-head with a Nikon unit. I was thrilled with Canon's UI and feature set – so much, in fact, that I blindly upgraded to the G3 and eventually the G5. A few months ago, I got a bit restless. Canon's Web site had announced a G6, but it wasn't anywhere near as “slick” as the G2. More megapixels? Megaboring. I needed something new, and I was afraid that Canon was losing their edge. They've always been my favorite digital camera family, but it was time to find a close cousin (in the Nikon Coolpix 8800).
