I currently have an S30 which i love to death. It has been a great little camera. I miss not having a place for and external flash. I don't know much about the G3 other than hearing it's one of the best mid range digital cameras out there.

Other than the external flash what else should persuade me to get the G3 other than the higher mp S50?

I just bought an S50 (upgrading from s40) rather than the G3 because of the small size (slips into your top pocket between shots) and extra megapixel. Otherwise.... the G3 has more features. Its that simple really. If the bigger size and flippy floppy lens cap doesn't bother you, and you like to get technical, get the G3.

Another plus, is that the G3 has the flip out LCD which is handy in some instances like taking self portraits, timer shots, or other odd angles! Though I must admit, I always hate it when after buying a camera, the manufacturer comes out with a newer model cameras that have higher specs and is cheaper :)

Upon finally getting my 420ex yesterday I have determined that getting a camera with a hot shoe was an excellent choice.

What a difference that flash makes.
