I also posted this in the other forum. Sorry for the double post but was afraid that I would not get any comparisons for these cameras if I didn't.
I am needing to buy a better digital camera. I have researched digital cameras for several weeks now and I can't see straight! I am looking for a camera that can take photos of the exterior and interior of homes for websites and for brochures(I am a Realtor). I also would like a good camera that takes photos of family events as well as for vacation photos(a zoom would be nice). I also would like to learn to take more creative shots. I especially would love to learn how to take city night time photography.
My husband is a scuba diver and it would be great if I could find a camera that does that as well(although this is not as important an option as I have a Film camera for this). I have narrowed it down to the Canon line of cameras. They seem to have the best image quality as well as many manual options for creativity for the price. I am having a hard time deciding between the S45 or S50 or G2 or G3. The S45 or S50 would be better because they are more portable but the G2 and G3 have an option of changing lenses and more options for creativity. Any suggestions would really help me make a decision. Thank you in advance.

You cannot "change" lenses on the G2 or G3. You can get an adaptor that lets you ADD lenses to gain in either telephoto or wideangle direction, but these cameras do not have interchangeable lenses in the normal sense.

I have been extremely happy with our G2, though, and won't get rid of it even if I do get a digital SLR someday.
