Overpriced P&S's aimed at the idiot class

[Rich]

Just look at this review comment on the "highly regarded" Canon G10.
It is always the same! They could carbon-copy P&S reviews and simply
re-post them, why write a new one. Meantime, you'd have to have a
brain tumour if you plunk down $400 on something like this.

# Price is very high considering other cameras in its class and low
end DSLRs.
# Some noise visible even at ISO 80, Noise Reduction effects start to
creep in and smear detail from about ISO 200
# ISO 800 and 1600, though improved from the G9, are still so noisy
(and soft) they're almost pointless, ISO 3200 very low resolution and
complete waste of time
