I evesdropped on your advice and I am getting the bug. Any thoughts on the
Cannon G5 - specifically, do you think it's too little for a "real" digital
camera and, at about a pound, too clunky for a compact? I appreciate your
judgment. Joe

Well Judy, how big is your purse?

Really nice 16x20s are only going to come from a higher resolution camera
and they are neither compact nor inexpensive. And yes, Canon is (for the
time being) in the lead.

If a "really sharp" 16x20 isn't on your wish list, there are some nice
compact cameras that do amazingly well. Canon's 4MP 400S is pretty sweet.
I'm using a tiny (fits in an Altoids tin with the lid closed) Pentax
Optio S. This little jewel is only 3.2MP but it's also just 4 oz. and
truly small enough to fit in a shirt pocket. It boots quickly and has
lots of features that I actually use. It's the handiest camera I've ever
owned.

Good luck!
