don't mind me, I'm just out hunting.

I've been wanting to get a point and shoot camera because I'm going to be wanting a small camera to take with me while motorcycling/camping, and while I loved owning a DSLR and want to own one again, I want a point and shoot for the times I don't feel like carrying around camera gear.

I've been looking at the Canon G12, but after reading this thread I saw people saying the S95 has most all of the same (excepting a hotshoe flash) in a smaller package.

Fully manual controls, 720p video and that HDR shooting mode, all of those things? what about a tripod mount?

I don't mind spending the extra money for a G12 if it does have more neat features, but I am curious about what some of you said about it being just as inconvenient as a DSLR. I guess I'll go to a store today and try to get my hands on one, see how it feels.

edit: It appears it does have 720video, HDR shooting mode (although yes I know you can do this yourself) and fully manual controls. What about a little tripod mount hole thingy on the bottom?

Looks like I have an opportunity to get a brand new S95 for about $360 after tax. The prices don't seem to vary a lot online, it seems pretty well pegged at $399, so I think this is a pretty decent deal and will probably try to buy it tomorrow. Do yall think this is a decent deal?
