If you are in the market for a new camera – Please for the love of all that is holy – pick up the Canon Powershot g10. It’s incredible! Scott Raffe has one and he was showing me how bad ass it was a few weeks ago. I was super jealous…. All sorts of wicked features including – The ability to shoot RAW files + you can use an external flash + 14.7 Mega pixels + 28mm wide angle + 1600ISO + it’s about $350-$450…..
My favorite thing about this camera, aside from the ability to absolutely have full control over your images = It’s aesthetic……. It’s like the eames had a child in the form of a diana camera in the early 70′s and that child married the Mamiya RZ67 and had their own child… Only to find out that their kid was having dirty high school sex with the Panasonic Lumix….
Well, they had a Canon out of wedlock and they named it G10.*

*I’m on some sinus meds so you will have to excuse me, I’m delirious.
Here is one of the photos Scott took with the g10 when Jay Shuster was in town. Low light no flash – AND I cut this out of a contact sheet, so it’s not even the og file:
