How can features matter more than the image quality. If it is so then I have missed something with photography.
Just ask yourself a question. Even if G2 sharpness is better would
you still buy it? I know I won't. G3 has other great features that
I am looking forward to using and price difference ($200) is not
that big of a deal.
I set up a tripod and using indoor lighting took the following two
shots. To my eye there is no doubt the G2 is sharper.
