if youre looking to stay with a point and shoot style camera i say go with the g6. cant really go wrong. but if you dont mind having a bigger camera, for the money the g6 costs id go with the digital rebel. far superior image quality besides the obviously interchangable lenses, blah blah. plus theres a $100 rebate on the camera through the end of the month. hope that helps.

Check my sig. I love mine the pictures are crisp for a fixed lens camera, cost stays down because you don't need extra lenses, you can either go point and shoot with it or full out custom, its relatively cheap right now, you can't beat the size for the features really. I can't really think of anything I don't like about it besides the fact that its not a d70 or 20d but that'll be later down the road.

Same with me, I'd rather learn the basics first then move up.

if you dont think youre ready for an slr and wanna learn the basics first, then deff go with the point and shoot style camera. like j_ambrose said above, you can go fully automatic or fully manual with the g6. id prolly recommend the g6 over the s1 because the g6 is higher res (7.1mp vs 3.2), takes a rechargable lithium pack (bp511a vs AA batteries), and has a hot shoe which allows you to put on a more powerful flash if you see the need to. the pluses of the s1 are the 10x optical zoom, image stabilizer, and obviously the price tag. both are great cameras, but i think the g6 gives you more room to grow.

Re: (itsm3paul)
even 512 is overkill imo, but then again i always upload all my pictures and then delete them off the compact flash card after i get done taking a series of pictures.
