Fuji S5000 has a handy zoom, seems reasonably priced and depending on whether you buy into SuperCCD, has 6mp resolution although the chip is 3.1 effective. Not sure if you'd considered that but thought I'd throw it into the mix. One thing about the Canon G5 is the flip out screen, very handy feature to have in a compact.
