I'm thinking about getting a Powershot G. I have several cameras now, but I really miss the viewfinder, and feel that the Powershot G is my best bet for a good affordable camera. I want to spend $100 or less, and am not sure which ones is best. Kijiji seems to have several in that range topping out around the G10 (for my price range). I suppose I could spring for a few dollars more if the general consensus is a G11 or G12. I like the EVF, but don't care if an OVF handles the full zoom (8x or more). I don't do much scenery, mostly objects (some far away) and macros. Can anyone recommend a camera meeting my specs. I am open to other than Powershot recommendations.

Thanks ......

It's going to cost you a few more dollars but I'd suggest that you look for a good condition used SX50HS. It's one of the most versatile PowerShots available and will take care of your near and distance shots very nicely.

...just a thought.
