Hi Achim, looked at all the posts I have been a canon man for 20 plus years the G3 is a good camera with some annoying features view finder to small lens obscurs view finder, shutter lag is a bit of a killer. I bought a 300D its very good image quality but the lenses are an issue interms of what you have to carry around to cover the different ranges I now think I should have bought the Olympus 5060W as an all round light weight travel camera very hard to better, and a good price.

Does anyone know if there are any cheaper options than the Canon CR560 In Car Charger? I am off to Europe and don't really want to spend the best part of £100 on an in-car charger for my G3 batteries.

Also, I am getting a bit irritated with the delay time between taking shots with the G3. By the time the camera is ready to take another picture the moment has gone!

Any advice again welcomed.

Mike
