I have a G5 that has received light use. While it's smaller and lighter than an SLR with extra lenses, there are some limitations. It's not really a pocket type camera, but it has a full range of features. If you want a full featured but smaller (not micro) camera, you might consider that s60 or s70. I have the S45, which was the smaller version of the G3, and it's quite capable. A limiting consideration is the lack of a flash shoe, but it's fine for typical flash pics and it has flash comp.
or if you really are after a pocketable camera for "snaps", the smaller compacts are great, I got an SD200 whilst I was visiting Chicago and the quality is pretty good considering the size of the camera, it also has a reasonable feature set. The SD300 is even better, better case higher pixel count etc. One of the best features they both have is a large clear LCD on the back. Here in the Uk they are called the IXUS 30 and IXUS 40.
I took these when I bought it:

Most were taken in full auto with just the flash overridden
