Joe,
Very insightful and detailed observations. Your note about how the G2 feels reminds me of my own response to it after not having used it for awhile, I practically say "Ahh" aloud every time I pick it up, there's a wonderful tactile communication with it that I don't get from any other camera (and I have quite a few to select among).
The autofocus has its quirks, and one of the steepest parts of the learning curve for me was anticipating which sort of subjects will be difficult to get a good lock on. Oftentimes compensating is as simple as tilting the camera to get focus lock, then composing and shooting.
You had asked about a cover. I've found the basic Zing SLR neoprene cover to be very handy and great for protecting it from knocks and the weather. Because it doesn't say "Contax" it's also cheap!
