I bought one of these this year. I remember when they came out and I couldn't afford one. Nothing has changed over the years though - they are still better at actually taking photographs than most modern cameras - including SLR's. The image quality is excellent. You have to get to know the camera though. It doesn't have the Image Stabiliser so you really have to know the ins and outs of it. For flash indoors for example it is best to reduce the flash output, which is easily done. These cameras are superb for taking candid photographs due to the multi-directional screen. A great tool for great photography.
I would recommend the PowerShot G3 Compact Digital Camera. It has 4.0 mega pixels with a four times optical zoom lens 35-140mm in 35mm equivalent. I found the Images from the G3 are crisp and clean with really excellent colour/exposure. It’s quite a robust camera made from half metal, half plastic with a nice flip-out and twist design of the LCD. Canon’s BP-511A Lithium-Ion battery pack have superb battery life.

An awesome camera- this is a superb quality camera-it will outperform much higher pixel count cameras-eg my fuji 6500, ( 6.3 meg) it seems to have the perfect balance of pixels vs sensor size. I can print a4 prints at stunning quality, with no pixelation- why would you need any more pixels, unless you are printing a3? The fast f 2.0 lens is unique among compacts- and it will not let you down. Find a good one, look after it, and it will serve you well for many years!
This camera is great, it has all the functions of a pro camera in a package thats very handy to carry around. The pictures from this are just great, sorry i meant to say VERY VERY GOOD! They give my new 8 mega pixel camera a run for its money! It focuses quickly, and produces sharp and composed images every time, and thats in auto mode, if you wanna play with the settings, you can get all sorts of results. It even had RAW output, and thats great if you wanna do post picture processing on your computer. Well, its a canon... so you know you have great built quality, and performance in a simple to use camera that will also function as a pro camera if you want it to!
