I've been offered an S5 with kit lens, new and boxed for a very good price.
However it doesn't seem to offer much more than the G9 does, if I add £700 for a lens, I am then up to what a G9ii would cost, plus there are not many lenses for it, and what there are seem to cost a fortune.
So then I went back to looking at the G9ii (who has a G9 who wouldn't like a G9ii ! )
It offers a few more pixels than the G9, had phase detect focus (haven't heard yet if that can cause banding like some other makes get) more focus modes, and it would appear slightly better image quality numbers.
However, at more than three times the price of a "like new" G9, is it worth it, or have I missed something important?
