Thinking about upgrading to DSLR without breaking the bank!! is the above worth the change?

Yes (unless your just using the kit lens in normal lighting)

Don't get the G10 though, the GF2 is much better and just as cheap (it can do 1080p AVCHD etc)

Edit: or Olympus EPL1 if your not interested in video and don't want to process RAW files.

If you want a DSLR look at the entry level Nikon and Canon offering and go from there, unless you have very specific size requirements.

My local camera shop is selling a G10 for £230 and offering a years warranty! I thought it was a great deal!

You can get the GF2 for £250 (kit lens) to £300 (14mm pancake)

1080p AVCHD, the touchscreen and it's small size is well worth the extra £20

(+ the G10 has a terrible low res viewfinder)
