I want to buy a G2. Is the startup time too bad?

I haven't used one in a while but from memory it's not exactly fast to turn on. Imaging Resource claims 7.2s in their review and while that sounds long, it might be accurate.

The G2 does output some pretty nice images that are pleasing straight out of camera. It's also a tank with a fairly hefty metal body; it is not light. The rear screen has pretty abysmal viewing angles though before stuff starts to look weird and invert, I never liked that part. The optical viewfinder is alright and coupled to the zoom lens if I recall.

Thanks
