Well, I have the Canon G6 and am very disappointed. I found it slow to focus, lousy zoom, low max-ISO, and not anything like my dSLR (Canon 10D).

I borrowed an S2 IS from a cousin this summer, and found that it was very similar to my G6 in its functionality, but had a great zoom and image stabilization and seemed a little faster, even. The S3 IS has a larger LCD than the G6 and still has the flip out screen (the new Canon G7 does not have a flip-out screen), although the 2" flip out screen on the S3 IS is a little small by today's standards.

If I were to do it over again, I would definitely get the S3 IS over the G6 or G7. The G7 looks pretty nice, but I love zoom, personally.

I have all three... plus a powershot 620. The S3is is a really flexible package, the A620 is the best bargain, the G6 is has a lovely F2 and RAW image format and the G7 looks sexy, feels great, but sadly lacks RAW format. They are all really good cameras, for their purpose. Funnily, I have a D200 Nikon, but use these much more.
