Canon Powershot G7 review: well, there is none at Dpreview as of yet.
There is only one personal and I am not sure if I would go with what this person says:

I think you should stick with the two canon, personally I would go with the S80. 0.02 cents
If you don't want to stick with the same, then just wait around for the review of the G7, it should be good. Honestly go DSLR, you won't regret it. For that...
I can give you lots of info...as Jack can as well.
D80, D200, 400D, A100...the list goes on.
