which one?

Been looking at cameras lately. The existing powershot is about 3+ years old, and serves it purpose (at least for macro that I love!) but falls very short when it's low light, and can't seem to focus on more than one person's face in a group picture.

Was thinking of getting another powershot (s110 or G15), but these are priced at $599 and $699. Expensive compact cameras! S110 is exactly the same as S100, just with the additional wifi which I suspect, is one feature that I won't use since it'll drain the battery like crazy. The design of the G15 is much nicer (better grip) but it is expensive because with another $200, one could get an APS-C sensor system camera.

Currently, GF2 (with twin lens kit) is selling for just $449 at Alan Photo. Imagine owning a system camera for that price. Sounds very tempting. But GF2 has its problem with JPEG images. Of course, it has newer GF3 and GF5 (around $899).

Hmm, system camera or compact still?

Or, don't get any...
