SL,
Please do, we need your money over here.
Just for giggles, pick up an old Canon SLR that is dead and carry it over just in case someone stops and asks if you had that camera with you when you went. Have the boxes and stuff mailed back and you should be clear.
If you really want to help, please come to Chicago and buy it here (the state where I live). Now if you really want to stretch your pounds, check out buying it just north of here in Milwaukee and you will pay 6% less sales tax than you do in NYC, 5% less than you pay in Chicago.
Happy to put you up for a night or two if you'd like. Drop me an email.
** Maz and Thomas have lots of room for all!

UK prices for 5DII are 69% dearer than US list price
Its cheaper for me to fly from London to NY for the weekend to buy the camera.... now there's an idea!

I hadn't even looked at the G10, as i had been looking forward to the 5DIIfor so long. But, i LOVE the double-stacked dial. A dedicated dial for ISO on a digicam is a wonderful thing. I wish the 5DII had it, instead of the cheesy 'function' dial....

My M5s need red dots!
Bill, SL should buy his camera in the Chicago area instead. Sales tax in Chicago is now 10%.
I guess it's still less than buying the gizmo at home for SL.
In any event, yes, come here and leave your cash with us!

Actually, looking more closely at the G10, I'm warming up to it a little. LX3 still looks better on paper, but the controls look pretty nice...

Fly into Philly (PHL) and drive down to Delaware, where there is no sales tax at all. I'm sure Cameras Etc. would love your business...

14.7MP in the small G10 sensor? Unholy crap.

Can I ask what "mac-tack" is?
Something better will be out in a few months, and then a few months thereafter something else will come out, also better.
Don't get your panties in an uproar.

Neat idea! Nothing says "I'm no threat" better than a plastic checkerboard camera.

The phrase "me too" (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Me_too) sprang to mind, whilst reading that review.
Sorry... can't get excited by Canons latest offering. It's just another characterless lump of plastic.
