Re: Does the quoted height of 76mm (2.99") include the viewfinder?

If the old G12's lens still went in and out, it wouldn't have died. I turned it on, saw that it wasn't achieving good focus near or far, so I turned it off and on again in hopes that rebooting would clear that up. Instead, the gears that rack the lens in and out of its retracted position just jammed in the out position. I had to carry it home somehow - so I put it back into the case I had been carrying it around in.

In any case (sorry) a few additional millimeters in any dimension can be accommodated by the leatherette of the case, particularly since a lot of slack will be created by reducing the height of the camera's "shoulders" on each side of the viewfinder by an amount that looks like it's measured in centimeters rather than millimeters.
