Re: Had a G15 that broke...

Interesting, I narrowed my choice down to a coolpix P7800 or a G15. Opted for the P7800, it was no more than ok, then the viewfinder stopped working. Did not replace it with another and bought the G15. Chalk and cheese, the G15 is a superb camera. I do take a little bit of an issue with the ravings about build quality, it is well built but my G10 is still difficult to beat on the build quality stakes. One point I would mention is the fact that very little is said about the glass covered rear screen, it is unique and superb. I believe it is the first compact with this feature. certainly no issue with the lack of an articulating screen for me Thanks to the clarity and non reflective qualities here.
