Is the G7 THAT bad?

Dec 4, 2006

I've been reading posts all over the internet about how the G7 is a total piece of junk for this reason or for that reason but when people post G7 pictures, they look great to me. Now maybe I am just some idiot newbie, but seriously the pictures look good. Is the G7 a piece of garbage or is it maybe OK? I think the physical design of it is awsome, I love the heavy boxy rugged retro design.
