How Many MegaPixels Do I REALLY Need?
). For the purposes I use it, about 16 is all I need but I do require a decent zoom range (16x or more) since I shoot wildlife and have found the 4x and 6x are for parties (kinda jokn'). My SLRs are 12 but with the prices the way they are, 16 is reasonable. I personally want to get the Panasonic ZS10.

nice camera 
Just looking at the specs 
Get a S95. Same sensor (and lens I think) as the G12, but more compact and simpler to use.
My wife has one, it's pretty good.
Just for comparison, I have a D3s. I don't mind the s95 quality for snapshots... of course they can't compare in low light, but I'd be pretty mad if they did.

Can you shoot in complete manual settings with the S95?

Yes, just not so many dials on the camera for settings like the G12. If you want more control (and a hotshoe) get the G12. It's not THAT much bigger.
