I have a good friend who's asking for help on the following, but to be honest I am only into the DSLR's so I don't know what to tell her...

Would you be willing to help her with some advice and input? Thanks a million!!

Here's her note:

Could you please give me a little input on a couple of cameras?
I’ll need it as soon as you can

They are all canons:

G11 499.99

PowerShot SX210 IS 349.99

PowerShot SX20 IS 399.99

It would be taken in place of the XT because of the sheer bulk of the lenses and size of the XT
So here’s what I’m looking for in a camera:

Rapid shot abilities (like use during a sporting event aka stop motion shooting)
Really nice zoom
Image stabilizer
Flash
High megapixels
User friendly J
Value for the money

Unless you can suggest something different in a camera that’s not as big and bulky as the XT and its lenses.
I’d like to have the lens capabilities in a smaller camera without having to carry them along and be able to put it in my pocket

Any suggestions would be helpful. Btw we’re still taking the SX110 as well.
