    I've considered both this camera and the G11, and my conclusion was you can get a very nice DSLR for around the same price. It might not be the newest version, but it'll still take great pictures. Something like the Nikon D70S or D5000 would be great.

    Personally, I own the Nikon D700 w/ 70-200mm 2.8 lens and the 50mm 1.4G lens. I love it.

    Agree, but DSLR's are a pain in the ass to haul around because they are so big.

    So with SD cards, do you usually want to go with the ultra versions of them? Or is it not that big of a deal? What's the best brand?

    16gb seems like a lot. 8 is probably all you'll really need right?

    you should get an SDHC card.

    speed is an important factor, you don't want your camera to be waiting.

    For point-and-click cameras how would you rank the S90 to the Lx3 from Panasonic?

    I've been doing tons of research on Digital cameras lately. Every site I've been to has the s90 as the top non SLR camera on the market.

    Went with the D5000. Everyone in town wanted $700 for it. Got it for $637 on Amazon.

    Btw, I do have a SLR. A Nikon D90.

    But I do plan on getting the Canon S90 for more random stuff. It's small and the quality is very good. Check out this example pic I found on flickr of a S90:

    I've been using a Sony DSC-W210 which works quite well.
