Cannon Cameras - G12 vs Rebel?

Does anyone out there use either the Cannon G12 or Cannon Rebel on trips and have feedback?

I have been using Cannon Elphs for years and love the small size, but may go to something more powerful now.

Thanks.

I use a G12 and love it. The sensor isn't any bigger than many cheaper point and shoot digital cameras but it has superior and versatile software and must have better optics because I'm getting much better pictures. The viewfinder is very handy. The small size is nice. I bought mine a year ago and would consider looking at the latest "four thirds" technology and cameras. I'm not much of a camera buff but these cameras were looking promising, with a much bigger sensor than point and shoots, with a body smaller than dSLRs. A year ago they were expensive and big, but I'll bet some improvements have occurred.

I love my Rebel T2i. It is smaller than a full size DLSR, shoots relatively quickly for action shots, and has the ability to interchange lenses. Plus, it shoots HD video. Definitely the best camera I've owned to date.

Image quality in the G series is great, good enough for 99% of users. Reasons to get the Rebel include: faster frame rate, interchangeable lenses, and ability to get a smaller depth of field. DSLR will certainly be better for action shots, but is the extra weight worth it to you? In my opinion, don't bother with the DSLR unless you're willing to get some decent glass for it though.

I've had a G12 for a year and am overall disappointed its results. The pictures don't look as good as the specs. I would vote for the DSLR with the standard kit lens. The camera I've had the most fun with in the mountains was one of the high zoom Lumix point and shoots.

I like my g12. 4/3 tech will always result in a bigger camera to carry, so if it's worth it go for it. G12 fits in ski jacket pocket, little harder to do with 4/3.
