The next step up would be a dslr or possibly G9.

I think you'll find the G9 is basically the same camera as the A650IS in that it has the same sensor, lens and possibly firmware to a point, so the end result would be very hard to see any difference between the two cameras.

John.

Dozens of reasons to prefer the G9, starting with (but not restricted to) the ability to save in RAW format.
External flash, ISO dial, better batteries, humungous LCD and more.

Specs may look similar on paper - but the two devices are miles apart in the hand.
