      thanks monday, yes it still works just fine, though it's quirky and slow to use, you have to focus and compose through separate windows (both of which are small) and the rangefinder has lost contrast making it tough to focus, but it's fun and solid and small and mechanical and the knobs and stuff feel good and it makes cool sounds and I have an appreciation for well made things that last

        oh and it's not real valuable in terms of collectors or anything, couple hundred bucks, wasn't any sort of technological marvel or anything like the M system was in the 50's

        oh and you can go out and buy technologically modern lenses made in japan today that fit the camera

              Just a foggy night shot. Would have been composed differently if I had someone to stand there instead of literllly running back and forth to get the shot.. took about 10 tries.

                    any new recommendations for a good point and click Camera?  I regret not picking up the s95 when it was on sale in Dec.

                        need to exposure compensate (and if you have a G!2 that's dead easy), or get a wireless remote…

                        think i'll get a self timer for my bday.  just one of those things i can not buy for myself. tell me more about this exposure compensate

                              The exposure compensation dial on the G12 is the dial on the top left of the camera.

                              I woud do the following.  Set the camera pointing at a static image.  Then take 5 shots:  +2, +1, 0. -1 and -2,  see how the exposure of the shot changes.  From this you should be able to work out how to adjust the exposure when you take pics on the timers.

                              It'll take a bit of practice.

                              And read this….
