Depends on:
whether you want a point and shoot (G11) vs. dSLR,
how much you use (or intend to use) your camera gear,
how you plan to use your camera gear,
budget,
how expansive your camera gear can get.
Agreed, dpreview is a great place for reviews and feedback.
I do photography professionally, so I have a Canon 1D Mk III, with a 20D as back up, and a bunch of L-lenses. I also have a G9 for times when I don't feel like lugging my heavy gear. The G9 is obviously more portable, but I hate the delay and limited/lack of ease of adjustability compared to my dSLRs, not to mention the shutter delay and noise.
In your case, if photography is becoming a hobby I would suggest getting a dSLR...more room for expandability. Good luck in your decision.
