Why brown? Seriously, this looks like an awesome camera but brown for it's debut?

It should also be available in silver and pink, according to Canon's website.

Sandeep,I am also trying to decide between the three cameras you mentioned above, and looking at the date of your post, you probably went ahead and purchased one of these. Would you be kind enough to tell which one you bought and in what ways you're pleased or not?Thanks

I went ahead and bought it through Adorama. I'm *extremely* happy with the camera, but if it drops to $1200, I'm going to cry.

Actually, I had pre-ordered my camera directly from Amazon (paid Amazon price, Amazon shipped it to me, etc.) about a month ago and I received my camera last week. I noticed since then that the camera is back to pre-order status, so maybe Amazon really means "out of stock"?

I bought the brown one for my parents, and will be buying one in the same color for myself. I chose the brown because of the dark contrast border that it provides when viewing the screen. Although I haven't seen the other colors in person, I am really satisfied with the brown color on the camera.

I'm already signed up for the pre-order, and the only thing that worries me is the low ISO/daylight performance. From the sample shots floating around the net, the high ISO/low-light images seem fantastic. The daylight captures, on the other hand, seem good, but not great. That said, I have not seen tests done in a controlled environment, by a reviewer I trust. The other thing to consider that this is the first mass manufactured, consumer level back-lit still camera sensor. Will there be QC issues? I betting 'no', but who really knows. Sony does have experience with their similar Exmor R sensors for camcorders, which is comforting. All in all, given it's small size and fantastic feature set, it looks like winner. May not have the absolute best picture quality, but that what dSLRs are for...

This is basically backordered everywhere. Check out all the buying options, there are still some for sale at $799, but get them quickly since they're in super high demand! I was able to get one from Camera Land here on Amazon for $799 just the other day, and I'm now waiting for it in the mail.

more importantly, how will the image quality be and will it be worth owning? reviews of the P80 were not kind. I'm hoping they have fixed this issue.

I can't pre-order... Too little faith in canon cameras when they are released. I will probably get it down the road (feb-march) if their aren't any issues. Would upgrade from mkII. Would be nice if canon could release the 1d and 1ds as one camera, and just allow us to switch between high fps and high MP. But alas, I'll refrain.

You're welcome! Now, if I could just figure out what camera to get for myself ... *grin* I have a limited budget and haven't bought a decent new camera since my Minolta Maxxum 7000 35mm back in 1985!! If it was still functioning, I probably would be happy to go on with it. But, the older I get the less I feel like lugging around a big bag of equipment. So, this G7 may be the answer to my prayers. Can't wait to see how it tests out.Off to read your NV7 review ... WOW that's a slick looking model, isn't it?

I haven't tried the camera yet. I plan on trying it this weekend. It is getting easier to use the other features._

I haven't posted any pics on the Amazon A710 site yet. However, when I do take pics I do make sure I have the stabilizer on. The coolest feature is the the Color Swap and Color Accent. I have been playing around with that.

Thanks so much for the response. After much research, I know I want this camera. What a great deal, I'll order mine tonight!

As you may know, the camera is out. Mine is due to arrive from Amazon tomorrow. (I pre-ordered back in February)For some sample photos taken in hands of real users here's a link <<Please note: at the bottom another photographer "phat-slug" included 14 pictures taken that can be blown up for evaluation>>http://forums.dpreview.com/forums/readflat.asp?forum=1007&thread;=37922920

What did you end up getting? I had the same dilemma but choose the 790 for its picture quality. It's a great camera and am very pleased with the results. I had fun with it right out of the box, but must confess I am a manual freak, so I did study it before the camera even came. www.steve-digicams.com posts reviews and sample pictures if you want more info. For me, it's a perfect little P&S; for your pocket.

I got a black one several weeks ago and used it in Alaska photographing the Eagles in Haines. It is black even though I agree in the online photos it looks brownish. It is black!
