Hi Henry,

Thanks for your kind words. I got the G2 (new black version) at Canoga Camera in Southern California: http://www.canogacamera.com/ I think they offer terrific prices and excellent service to boot. In Toronto, Canada (where you live, right?) I hear that Henry's Camera's (at Church/Queen Streets) is the best place to get it : http://www.henrys.com

In addition to the Canon Powershot G2, I also purchased a Canon Speedlite 420Ex external flash, Velbon Maxi 343E portable tripod, LensMate brand lens adapter: http://www.lensmateonline.com
to accomodate add on lens: Olympus A28 wide angle, and a few assorted filters (Hoya HMC: macro closeup, polarizer, and UV). I purchased the speedlite flash & tripod from J&R Music in the BIG apple (NYC) and was very happy with their prices & service as well. All this ended up burning quite a hole in my pocket, but I'm happy. Henry, let me know what you end up getting. - Scott
