Your Canon G3 may have a low resale value but it is the best of the G 
series IMHO and 4 megapixels is plenty for most prints, and plenty good 
at A4. All subsequent G cameras have tried to pack more pixels onto the 
same size chip and have unnecessarily nominally increased their 
resolution whilst actually being worse in low light. If it works and 
you don't sell it its resale value is irrelevant.
Thus newer Gs are "better" in ways they were already adequate and worse 
in a way they needed to improve!
