Ever since I got that little powershot A200 that you told me about I've been spoilt by being able to shoot at awkward angles. Many of those shots would be difficult or impossible if I had to use an optical viewfinder.
G5 is compact compared to a 300D

Those little A200's were cool. I use mine on the end of a pole for getting in your face images of wildlife.

I have a 300D which I am using every single day, I bought it to replace my film SLR. If I wasn't doing professional news photography I might have just chosen a compact digital.
