I bought an ultra-wide angle 10-22mm lens for my Canon dSLR, and am amazed at what this lens can do (it's a 16-35mm equivalent focal length on my Digital Rebel). I got some great wide angle photos on our recent trip to the Canadian Rockies -- shots that I never could have taken with the Powershot G3.

IIRC it's equivalent to 38mm. Also when you attach the add-on lens, don't forget to tell the camera (via the setup menu) that you're using the add-on lens and the camera will adapt to the lens. I've tried it on and off (the add-on-lens mode, I mean) and the pictures are better when it's toggled to "on" position when you have the add-on lens on.
