Yes, the F30/F31 were successful... they certainly left their mark and are missed now that they are out of production. Yet, I argue that if they had been more successful then they would have done photographers the service of getting camera manufacturers to place more priority on improving high ISO noise rather than cramming in millions more noisy pixels into tiny sensors. Anyway, let's hope Canon pulls a nice surprise on us with the next G series....
Does anyone know where I can buy the Lensmate 58mm aluminium lens adaptor? I know I can buy it directly from Lensmate, but their USPS shipping cost is much more than the price of the adaptor, which is ridiculous.

I'd go back and check the shipping ... you may have been reading the costs for expedited shipping.
Has anyone done some research into who makes the best wide-angle converter that can be used on the G9? How does the Canon WC-DC58B compare against the Raynox HK-6600Pro and Kenko KRW-065 PRO-II equivalents?
Has anyone looked at the intermediate ISO stops like 125 and 160. Is there any advantage of using the auto ISO setup that selects these intermediate settings from a performance point of view? Normally, I would just dial in ISO 200.
I was thinking of running a few tests, but if the work has already been done I don't want to duplicated the effort.

Two things that would make the "G10" irresistable to me are:
1. 28mm wide angle (I'd happily give up 40mm on the long end if Canon wants/needs to maintain the 5.7x zoom ratio).
2. +2 stops better high ISO performance (high quality ISO 800, decent ISO 1600).
Add faster lens and this basically nails it. I'd gladly give up pixels for lower noise, but the 28mm equiv is mandatory.
PS, Canon already has a product called the G10, so it will have to be called the G11.
