Totally perplexed now..G11 and SX20...

--I had recently inquired about the SX20 and I am now looking at the G11..
Totally different animals when looking at both...

I love some of the features of the SX20 mainly the zoom and body style with stereo mikes with video mode, plus hotshoe...
I really love the zoom on this thing with th IS....

Then theres the G11 with all the manual control features right on top to control everything like a DSLR including RAW is desired...
Nor much zoom range, but good enough for many instances...
Also a hotshoe for speedlight...
More pocket ability with G11 and it also has IS..

Maybe I shoul get both and tell the wife ones for her and the other for me from Santa....LOL..... I do like both of them at this point based on specs.. They both have their strong and weak points....

So how about those that actually use these cameras???
Your thoughts are much appreciated...
Thanks..
