From: Jane Galt on 20 Jun 2010 02:01 This is such fun, I hate to get back on topic, but does anyone know of a comparison table that compares the features of the G11 and SD4000IS? It's kinda coming down between those two. The S8000, while having f2.0, is also said to have some slow problems, in some of the reviews I saw.
