Being a pro canon fan for many years, this is my first switch to Minolta and I'm suprise with the feature and function of what the A2 offers. Initially I was eyeing on the Canon Pro 1 but after fiddling with it for a while, I noticed that the menu structure is pretty much similiar to the G5 series. And comparing with the focusing speed with a G2, the G2 is much faster than the Pro 1. Check out the reviews and test on - http://www.luminous-landscape.com/reviews/cameras/canon-powershot-pro1.shtml Well it was a wise switch to the A2, which you would only relize the ease of usage once you are on field.
