There are times which I would like to be spoilt by the AF and TTL of the G2. Somehow I have found that, with the AF of the G2 during quick shooting of people at parties, I get a tad higher percentage of sharp pics. The TTL with the TLA200 is very nice and accurate even with backlighting. On the other hand, the M camera has a nice bright and BIG VF which gives me the information of what's happening outside the frame lines and I have found that a very very useful feature during composition. If I carried both the M and the G2, the setup is quite complete. Dan K.
