Well compared to Canon G2, I would much rather prefer Canon S30/S40. It has the same technology but smaller in size.

I am an owner of Canon S30 myself and I have recommended this camera to lots of people and everyone seems to be happy with the camera.

I have a friend with Sony DS85. I think the only good thing about that camera is that it can take continuous video, whereas the canon s30/g2 can only take up to 2 minutes of continuous shot. The bad thing is that it uses non-standard sony memory stick (could be good if you're a sony-equipped person :p)

No experience with olympus.

Go to http://www.dpreview.com and look at the review of these cameras. Go to the forum as well and ask around.

Good luck with your camera hunt

Thanks for the replies guys!!! I have been reading so freaking much the last few days, I just wanted to get some opinions!!! I can look at side by side comparisons and reviews all day and still not have an idea as to what I should get!!! Argh...... wish I were a rich man....... I would buy all three. Actually, I would buy a DSLR!!!! :)

Thanks Again!
