asdf.... you're right, I would go with the G5... the G6 is a BEAUTIFUL piece but from the reviews I've read, its still doing the 9 point AiAf and has the same chipsets as the G5, the ONLY changes are the color and its now taking 7 MP.
I've also noticed that as the resolution increases, the "noise" in the images tends to increase until the image is shrunk....
Plus it seems the layout (of buttons) on the G6 have been subtly improved but not a whole lot different....
with that said.... I'd say go for the G5 for the same reason asdf stated...... its gonna get DAMN FUCKING CHEAP!!!!
