Digital Advice

Ok, so my current Coolpix 4500 will soon be heading into retirement. And I've kinda had my eyes set on either a Coolpix 5000, a Canon G3 or Canon G5. I've been reading reviews till I was blue in the face, so much so that they have just melted into one big ball of stats.

So I'll get to the questions already, has anyone had any experience with any of these cameras? Any first, second, or third hand experience would be terribly appreciated.
