Been thinking of new equipment too. I looked at G7 and S10 and they look
like top choices. What bothers me is their price range is close to some of the
new DSLR's. I'm thinking I should just jump from PS to low-end DSLR. I'm
favoring light-weight, non-pro grade at this point. I'm told Canon shows their
new stuff in March about when I come out of hibernation.

The big advantage of the G7 for me (and similar cameras) is the small
size, even compared to the low-end dSLRs. It's slightly too big for my
pocket, but it is small compact and excellent quality.
Otherwise I might have bought a D40, except it wasn't available at the
time. And even now I think the G7 has some advantages - especially the
movie mode, the macro (down to 1 cm) and it's very inobtrusive. It hides
under my jacket without any problem, doesn't get in the way when I'm
driving etc.
