I have the Cannon G11. I love it. It was a little higher than some but I wanted more manual controls like what I have on my DSLR. I have had it for about a year now and totally love it.
They have since upgraded it to
Canon G12.
Also, a site that I have found helpful is
Test Freaks. They have great reviews from professionals to amateurs. It made it easier to find what I needed and read unbiased reviews.
