So I'm trying to find a good P&S to be my constant buddy. The main beef I'm having with the ones I've found is the AF system is terrible, and setting it in manual isn't much better - I'm curious as to what others use? I used to just always carry my SLR, but once I started upgrading, it got a little to much. And it's not as easy to sneak into a show as a P&S. My main concerns would be low-light shooting, snappy AF, and full manual controls. I'd also love a movie mode as well. And a rechargeable Li-Ion battery would be swell too. It doesn't need to be ultra-modern either, an older version would work fine - I'm not going to be using it for print work, mainly for placing things on the web. Thanks guys. JDP
Ah thank you! The G9 looks quite nice actually. It seems smaller then the higher end Nikon P&S, which is what I'm aiming at.
G9 looks about $500, that's totally acceptable to me. I was thinking the G6 too, but that IS on the G9 looks promising. Nikon SLR, Canon P&S, for some reason that's how I roll *shrug*
I've only looked at and held the G9, but I loved every bit of it. The only drawback I could see for you is that you probably wont take advantage of the TTL hot shoe being a Nikon shooter, than again I most P&S situations a dedicated external flash just makes things to cumbersome anyway, defeating the convenience of a point and shoot.

I see press photographers on a regular basis, and one of them regularly has a Canon G9 hanging around his neck next to his 1D.
