A dSLR will help you with lower light photography. And blowing out a sky is easier with a P&S, but it happens with dSLRs, too. You may want to learn how to do HDR processing with your P&S for the blown sky shots, and use a small tripod of some kind (say, a
gorillapod or
ultrapod) inside a church for longer exposures. I used an ultrapod to get this shot at the British Museum with a 3MP P&S camera (Canon S30):

as to the zooming option, the powershot SX20 is comes to mind..it has 20x optical zoom and 0cm macro..if Canon combine the lens of their telephoto series and the DSLR function of its prosumer series..that would be heaven..

The SX20IS has full PSAM modes. The only ways in which it's not as nice as the G11 are the lack of RAW, the smaller sensor, and the lens not going as wide. But you do have the superzoom, the flip-out LCD, and a flash hotshoe (which means Strobist lighting is a possibility). The CHDK might help you with the RAW. I do wish, though, that they'd use that larger 1/1.7" sensor of the G11 in the S superzoom cams.
