Not the best photo comparison but it was easy to do. These are from Hesperia, CA on December 29, 2008. All are using a tripod. Click on any photo to bring up the full sized original.
First comparison is using automatic and the widest angle

Notice the colors are not as good with the Canon G1 as the rest. The wider angle of the SX10 IS brings in a bit more into view than the others.
Comparison of automatic and full telephoto:

It is pretty obvious that the telephoto range of these four cameras varies a lot with the Canon SX10 IS the winner.
Now a comparison using landscape mode and wide angle.

Not much change from using automatic mode.

There are some differences in how the landscape mode worked as opposed to automatic.
Hopefully these photos help someone understand the differences in these cameras.
