As best I can tell . . . this looks like "protest theatre". I'm going to slip down about midnight one night this week and "embed" myself for a couple days to see what the commotion is about.

By the way . . . my apologies . . it's about impossible to shoot this type of stuff with a G12 . . that's what I had with me.

Interesting reporting Court!

Where did the G12 fall short? Not enough zoom?

The G12 is pretty much useless is diminished light and shooting anything that is in motion.

I've nabbed a couple decent, from a tripod, lower light shots and I attribute part of it to owner induced problems until I finish reading the remaining 347 pages.

It's a heck of a camera in terms of quality.

Interesting. The Lumix LX3 solves the low light problem (F2.0 plus optical image stabilization), but then creates a "no zoom" problem... effective zoom 60mm max or so.

I got a Lumix ZS3 (insulted a man on ebay, and he wasn't insulted... $135 for camera and 3 batteries) and it solves the zoom problem (25mm to 300mm effective zoom!), but brings back the low light problem (F3 to F4.5).

So I have both of them, and grab the right one based on how much light I expect. : )

A buddy just scored a Lumix LX5 for $280 or so... that may be the magic combination of both cameras. I'm skeptical though, I bet it comes at the price of worse optics.

Thanks for the data point!

I can't wait to see the " South Park" episode this will surely inspire!!
