Need help deciding...

[OCJohn]

This site is great. I went to a camera store, and have narrowed my choice to the DiMage A1 (if I can still get it), the Olympus 5060WZ, the Panasonic FZ20, and the Canon G6. I probably can't go wrong with any of those, but am just wondering if anyone has any thoughts or preferences on those cameras.

Wideangle shots? Telephoto shots? Indoor? Outdoor? Flash? Sports? Print size?

Family pictures, so indoor candids (so like the 28mm), plays/recitals, etc. (so want good indoor w/o flash), sports, etc. Not looking for anything more than an occasional 8x10, and have narrowed the field to the 5MP because (i) I want the best, and (ii) I'd like to be able to crop. I like the feel of the A1/A2 and the 5700 the best.

It's so frustrating because with every non SLR you give up something.

Thanks for any input.
