hey zarkonite, can you really mount canon lenses onto the G11?? Do you have to get some sort of apendage for that, or does the main lense come straight off? I had no idea....

- but you can get adapters

version3, that is extremely helpful, particularly with the real life application you've mention when your not intentionally going out to photograph some stuff...
Why did you have to put fear and doubt in my mind!?! im indecisive enough as it is!! Thanks though mate, i might have to check out the size of the 350d and 400d at my camera shop and report back!
Heres an album of some photos Ive taken if your interested, on my compact and a friends compact, extreme amateur, but its fun.

- good stuffs, much processing?version3
- only a tiny bit of processing, contrast saturation. dont like to do too much, ruins it.Hombre_Lobo

it's not meant to be fear and doubt, just my observation. i don't want you to sell them short.
i am personally against flashes especially built in flashes, always with that obvious awkward shadow and flat expressions on everyone's faces, but that's what you get in low light situations with a pocket cam. get yourself a low aperture lens and start to appreciate how your photography starts to resemble what you see and remember

the G11 is fixed lens, not interchangeable.

FINAL VERDICT -
Went down to jacobs in town which had all three in stock!
Lumix Lx3, Canon s90 and the canon g11-First off the the s90 is too small for me, doesn't feel like a performance camera, it takes great shots though.
The LX3, produces nice photos, wide angle is good but your not losing that much on the sides when using a G10 or G11. If you want a wider shot with the G10/11 you step back 2 feet and you get the same in as you would with Lx3, then crop accordingly, or you can take two images and stitch them together.The Lx3 in hand didnt feel all that nice, again like the s90 it felt too small, i have average size hands too. The G10/11 in hand however felt much better, obviously its a lot bigger than the LX3 but it has so many more dials and buttons for quick functionality. The Lx3 joystick also didnt feel too good, just not that nice and smooth.
The G10/11 just felt like a proper camera, the other two felt like compacts, which clearly is intended, but for me i wanted a more serious SLR wannabe. The size of the G10/11 isnt that big either, i can see myself happily taking it around in my bag just for the odd snap or taking it around with me on on holiday as well as taking it on dedicated photo days. With the LX3 and the S90, i couldnt imagine myself taking out for intended photo days, it just didnt feel like that sort of camera.
G10/G11 it is!!! :D
- You could get a fisheye or wide angle lens to mount on your G11 if you need to as well.zarkonite

"SLR" = single lens reflex
what you see through viewfinder is a reflected image of light coming through lens and captured to film/processor.
none of these are "DSLR"s in my books.
- yeh i know that, but people throw that term around - thought it might it!Hombre_Lobo
- might help it*Hombre_Lobo

^ what he said
The Leica is a rangefinder, not a DSLR.
The Olympus is an LCD screen of what the sensor sees, also not a DSLR.

canon g10 - still a great camera.
- very intense noise at iso 400 and over.zarkonite
- badly broken in low light - high ISO noise - see G11 for "oops we fucked up" replacementDoktorDavid

limitations are smaller sensors, typically more noise at high iso, slower/undependable autofocus

small point of nomenclature - those are just compact cameras you're talking about, not compact dslrs. a dslr would have interchangeable lenses and a viewfinder of some sort.

the upcoming nx10 from samsung, with a full size dslr sensor, looks promising
