I am looking for a nice camera, i went to bestbuy today and was looking at the g10 it looked really nice and was priced at 520. but the dude came over and showed me the canon rebel SLR for only 70 bux more. for camera pros what would you recommend. im taking a photography class and need a decent camera so i don't need a SLR but its only 70 bux more for alot more features i think? the G10 is 14 mp and the SLR is 10.1. i know it depends on what your using it for and the answer is anything and everything, i go on alot of trips and like taking high res photos to mess around with in PS. the thing that i loved about the SLR was the 1/4000 shutter speed but the g10 has it. in your opinion is the SLR that much better?

The SLR is that much better. If for nothing else, for shutter lag. I used my old compact after using a DSLR for over a year. It takes 3 seconds to focus and shoot with a compact. A DSLR shoots as fast as you can push. And it's just that much better in so many ways that I'm sure everybody here is happy to list for you.

Well the G10 is more compact and has higher zoom out of the box... but the XS is definitely a much better camera... has a better lens, can shoot much faster, you can get different lenses for it too... my gf has the XS and its really an awesome camera (I have a Sony a300) great image quality... cannot go wrong with it...
