Or Chromatic Abberation (though, I'm not sure if that's the american spelling). It's bloody annoying, Derry looks really impressive if you look down to the quay from the new Foyle Bridge at night, but try and take a picture and the amount of street/building lights totally ruins it for Canon cameras. I was going to buy a Sony DSC-F717, the shape put me off initially, I grew to like it after looking at several photo's of it, and ordered it from pixmania last night, they then emailed me and told me I'd have to head 3 or 4 miles into town, find a fax machine and fax a copy of a recent utility bill to some french fax number ... I then cancelled the order, drove into town and bought the G5 from Jessops, so far I'm a bit unimpressed, the lens obscures half of the damn viewfinder!
