Garry ! don't forget the Canon G-III 17, a real
great camera with a fast f 1.7 40mm lens. smooth quiet
shutter, and, a moving bright frame for parallax and
field size correction as you focus closer. Only
problem, it uses the PX-13 battery. Also has...GASP!
full manual overide of shutter and apature and
....DOUBLE GASP .... will still work even with a dead
battery. John R.
