The end of Canon G series?

Hi guys,

This baby features 8 MP CMOS, 7 times optical zoom and also the much coverted 'L' lens designation.

Looks very nice, I'm drooling...
However if I upgrade from my G3 one day I'd still prefer a DSLR.

What does CMOS stand for?

I saw they released this at PMA, looks like a nice cam for people who dont want to take the leap to DSLR. I still dont like the flip out lcd though. but the L lens makes up for it!
