this^^^ i just got a 7D last week and i'm loving it so far. my 5D was a fantastic camera too. don't discount the G11, it's a fantastic camera. unless you are planning to print a lot of posters from low light pictures, you'd be hard pressed to see much difference between a G11 and a DSLR. the guy i bought my 5D from got the 5D MkII and later a G11. he would often challenge me to look at the same picture taken with both cameras and try to figure out which camera took which one printed on 8x10 size paper. the
only ones i could tell the difference was pictures with a lot of wood textures in them, i could see more texture and sharpness in those textures on the 5D2's pictures (for obvious reasons). for casual shooting, the G11 will do just about anything the average photographer wants to do. the camera and equipment definitely helps (otherwise i wouldn't have a brand new camera and thousands worth of L-lenses) but it's more about finding the right composition and properly utilizing available light (or studio lighting if you have it) and then knowing what to do with the pictures once you get them on the computer in post processing. approach photography like i do and you will do well with just about any kind of camera: photography is the study of light and how it interacts with objects in the world. the object is to convey an emotion or tell a story with an image
