Thanks for the advice! After extensive research, I went with the A80. I got my for $249.00...timing just worked out great. Canon has moved on with the production of the A80's replacement, the A95, so I was able to get one of the last of the A80s from Amazon at a great price.

So far, I just love the camera. I don't think you can get 'more' camera for the money.

Plus, as I understand the A80 has the same sensor and pixel count as the G3 and it just make for a perfect 'sweet' mix.

Now...I just need to post some of my pictures in the gallery section here!
