Could be YES could be No.
If you concur with us, for the G10’s price we would say No, nearly catch the DSLR’s price instead.
Anyway, what dpreview gets : Canon G 10 has good results at lower ISO settings, very low lens distortion, fast and responsive overall performance, and has excellent motion picture quality.
So before you answer you should read the entire review first.

Rolei has recently introduced its latest rugged digital camera Rollei X-8 Sport at IFA show in Berlin. The model shown has Chuck Norris photo nicely fitted on its frontal exterior, which probably tried to advocate the toughness of the camera - literally. True enough, the Rollei X-8 Sports is a lightweight sturdy camera at only 158g, featuring resistance to moisture, dirt and cold, waterproof to 10m, and able to withstand 1m drop. Other specs include up to 1600 of ISO, 8 megapixels, and 3x optical zoom. The Rollei’s “Chuck Norris” X-8 Sport will be available sometimes in October for an undisclosed price. We believe the “clean-cut” version will also be available. We’ll keep you posted. [Rollei VIA Techdigest]

After weeks of speculative rumors across the net, Canon has finally launched the much anticipated EOS 50D, an upgraded version of EOS 40D. On the surface it looks almost similar to its predecessor. However, there are quite a few significant improvements; It features an APS-C sized 15.1-megapixel CMOS sensor for tremendous images, new DIGIC 4 Image Processor for fine detail and superior color reproduction, and improved ISO abilities up to 12800. The EOS 50D delivers unparalleled speed and resolution at a price point that’s one-of-a-kind in this day’s market. The digital SLR camera is scheduled for October delivery and will be sold in a body-only configuration at an estimated selling price of $1,399 USD. [DPReview]
