Thanks for the help, guys. Mostly use this camera in AV mode and shoot raw. Its for when I cant be bothered with my heavy DSLR's, and I guess mostly landscape stuff. Was just wondering if I could get it to act like a rangefinder or do any PJ kind of stuff. I am very happy with the camera, but still discovering its positives and negatives.(Excuse the pun if there was one!). For posed portraits its great. Love the AiAF, but not good on the fly unless pre focusing.(which isn't, by definition, "on the fly"!)

Cheers,

Jon.

Hi Jon
I would think the G12 would be great for PJ.

"Fortune favours the prepared" If one is ready, the image will be captured. Even with the very slight shutter lag.
For street photography, the G series is excellent.
