I am very happy with my new compact digital camera: Canon G7. The last one I was this happy with was actually my first digital camera – Canon S40. And since then I tried multiple compacts from Casio, Sony and Canon but I got rid of all of them very quickly. The problem was either high noise, low sensitivity or other issues like purple fringe.
So far I don’t have these problems with G7 (here are some of my pictures) and I really like the the retro look and compact size. Some people complain about the lack of RAW format and vari-angle screen. I don’t miss either one: I use this camera to complement my Canon 5D and I plan to do very little of post-processing anyway. And I would always trade the rotating LCD display for the smaller size. And so it looks like this one is a keeper…

How is the battery life? I had a Canon with a special battery like this and I always needed to travel with an extra and a charger which was a pain. I found normal batteries an easy solution, available anywhere, domestic or international.
Roman, are you sure that this camera is “compact”?
It is actually very small without the accessories. Much smaller than G2
