Very good choices, I have tried both. Also, take a look at the canon powershot SX1 IS: It is a compact superzoom (the zoom is NUTS) with movable screen, lightweight, smaller in weight and size than a dslr and has great feature...such as miniture mode (makes it look like your shooting with a very expensive tilt shift etc.) Full HD video as well.
I just bought one used for my gf to get her into photography for 200 quid in perfect condition from London Camera Exchange. We took to on a recent trip to Canada, in which we took it everywhere, and even to the EuroKracy euro show in Montreal and it was awesome. Found myself using it LOADS, I love it. Has a good auto mode, and m mode which is very easy to use.
I hardly used my DSLR which is surprising (aside from the shoot I did at the show itself), as I found myself constantly shooting with it instead due to its ease of use and small size. Originally I bought my gf a Canon 400d dslr, and she just couldn't understand it, and would get frustrated that the quality of pics were not even close to my Nikon d300....bless her.
My hopes of her getting into shooting was almost ruined, until I she got this. She absolutely loves it...and as a photographer, I can admit I do as well.
I will post some pictures I took with it this week, you will be surprised!
Hope that helps, Neil.

I third that, Canon G12 is a fantastic all-rounder, relatively light weight too. A no brainer to just pick up, full auto and snap away, yet get into the settings and it performs as good as an SLR.

I've also been following this thread with interest as I'm off to Dallas on a family holiday for 3 weeks soon, and want a decent camera to go with me. We've currently got a £200ish Sony cybershot camera, which is fine for quick pictures, but I'm wanting something that delivers a better quality photo. My budget is similar - about £500ish and had been looking at the Sony NEX5 and possibly a Olympus PEN.
For a noob like me there is a heap to take in! I think my main decision is whether to go for a Compact Systems Camera or an entry level DSLR?!
