@ieden5432 I got the G11, it is a bigger sensor that packs a Digic 4 sensor for better Pixel density count, bassically, less pixels more picture quality through a better sensor. Pixels is only what you can see, but a better sensor allows you to see with more clarity.
The megapixels do not matter much. A camera can have 20 megapixels versus one with 10 that has a much better sensor and quality. Even ten megapixels is plenty.
The G11 may also have better ISO settings, less noise, etc. It's pointless nowadays to look for megapixels on a camera unless one is going to may very large prints.
Although, the G11 may not have many advantages versus the G10, so it would be worth it to save some money and go with the G10.
The Panasonic Lumix G1 is a micro four-thirds (4/3) camera which means you have the quality of an SLR in a small-lightwieght compact body. The Lumix G1 is more flexible that the G10 as the G1 offers interchangeable lens.
So for my opinion, the Lumix G1 is great if you're not concerned with your budget.

The Canon G10 is a little bit superior than the Nikon P6000.
You understand that these types of camera are the Prosumer types, meaning that it is for the avid photographer that needs the functionality of a DSLR in a compact body.
And you might consider the Panasonic Lumix DMC-LX3. Very good in Low Light conditions, the downside is it has no Optical View Finder and the Zoom is limited to just 2.5x. But picture quality is far better than the two camera you mentioned.
which camera should I buy?
im thinking either the canon G10 or the nikon p6000, any suggestions?!
Please reply back thanks, because I need to camera next week :)
LIke I said not wonderful, in fact my 1.3 MP ancient olympus does better there, but that's the price of shoving 14MP onto a small sensor! Yes a DSLR will do better in low light, but you have to carry around a far larger, more obtrusive camera. I don't mind the low light noise in exchange for convenience.
If anyone's interested, I bought one of these a month ago and am delighted with it. You need to know what you're doing - don't use Auto or P if you can help it, try and use Manual exposure and post process RAW in the very good software for mac and pc provided. It is a bit noisy at iso above 200, but that's the only drawback.
i think the ccd measurement being in inches through her off. if it was in mm she might have realized that the screen is much bigger then 1 inch ,also the metric unit for ccd size is in Square MM not the old tube sizes like 1/1.7"
