Canon s80 v G7

Hi
I'm looking to buy a new camera and have got list down to these 2. I want a camera with full features and viewfinder, but concerned with weight. Most of my photography is outdoors. I'm aware the G7 is heavier. Comments please

I've had both, the G7 is only slightly larger/heavier than the S80. The ONLY advantage the S80 has is the 28mm wide lens. The G7 is better in all other ways. I sold my S80 and S3 IS after having the G7 for a few days.

Thanks Gnmink, will it fit in a jacket pocket when I'm out walking?

It's about the same width (maybe slightly smaller) and depth but about an inch taller than the S80.

You may be able to get an idea from this thread: http://photography-on-the.net/forum/showthread.php?t=229994

I posted a pic with the S3, S80 and G7 in the same shot. Still may be hard to tell.

thanks, looked at thread and am convinced about G7.
