Default Help with a P&S please!

So I just have a boring old point & shoot and it is pretty lame . But I only have enough $$$ for another new P&S, any suggestions? I am only working with 8 MP now, so pretty much anything would be an upgrade.

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.

I second the G-series - I had a G9 (it got stolen) and now I have a G10 that I love. I downgraded from a DSRL and never looked back, since I love carrying my camera around, and the G models provide you with a compact size AND top-level functionality. They ARE pricey though, but well worth the money IMHO. I want to buy a G12 and sell the DSRL and the G10 - and if you were closer to me I'd be all too happy to sell you my G10 for a very reasonable price, but I suppose a G12 is available in the US for a much better price than in Europe and the postage would be pointlessly high, LOL. :-)
