Have to agree that the moon jelly is very nice. I didn't know they had wet lenses for the g-10. What brand of housing are you using?
I considered upgrading to a G-10 but heard they were more on the wide angle end as opposed to macro. Have you had any problems getting good macro shots???

There's more than resolution to image quality though. The 50D will outshine any PnS with exposure lattitude, per pixel sharpness, flexibility across different ISOs with clean images; due to a much better sensor, and much more flexibility in glass.
I agree, the G10 is an awesome PnS, probably the best available at the moment; BUT comparing it to a mid-grade dSLR, or even a lower-end dSLR, you have to bring up the differences in image quality(which is determined by alot more than resolution).
I've got two 20x16 posters on my wall that were printed from files from two different cameras.
One was taken by a newer(2007 model) 10mp PnS, one was taken by an ancient(2001 model) 5mp dSLR, and the detail in the prints are pretty much identical.
I'm not at all hating on your camera, I really like the G10s. BUT... its not comparable to a dSLR in any important aspect... unless posting low res photos on the internet is your goal(not a knock, I REALLY enjoy your pictures).
Hetland, if you use a very, very narrow range of setting, the G10 is equal in resolution to a 50D...and would be a huge jump up from any of the regular Canon's...no P&S is even close.. if and only if you can shoot with it's ideal settings.
