Last year i mean 09 in colombia i "lost" my g9 while having a yummi country lunch... i was sad to realize it got discontinued so i learned the trickery of betting on ebay and bought it, again.
This year dejavu, back in colombia the new g9 broke! there must be a kind of subliminal message. maybe i should get a manual nikon.
