Point and shoot
I love my SLRs. My 20D has been a faithful companion on my daily trips to design studios for a couple of years now. But recently I have been considering the merits of owning a compact camera again.
My old IXUS 400 is now in my Jess’ possession, but I borrowed it for the day. The ability to have a smaller bag, that isn’t a heavy load swinging off my shoulder has great appeal and I even managed to take it out and grab a few shots that weren’t as bad as I expected. The focussing and start-up are painfully slow, but I imagine these and other issues will have been ironed out in the Canon G7.
Yes, the lens isn’t as fast as the G6, and no, it can’t capture RAW images, but it looks great and will be a worthy addition to my arsenal. And I might be more inclined to carry it around with me more often and actually post to Flickr and Blipfoto daily. Shock horror.
Just the issue of the money to buy it with then.

Ah ha! Up the compact revolution. Now you won’t be needing that lil 20D no more so I am willing to take it off your hands.
