If you knew what to look for, yes.

In that case, I think the G9 will suit you better than a DSLR, but I
wonder if you need to spend all that money on a G9.  A cheaper camera
might suit you perfectly.  The G9 is for someone who is "getting into
photography".  For holiday snaps that are good enough to frame, a
cheaper camera may be all that you need.  

The FujiFilm Finepix F series are well worth looking at, such as the
F30, F31 or F40, because they offer remarkably low sensor noise.  The
latest F50 and F100 models try to cram too many pixels on the sensor
with an increase in noise, so are best avoided.

The earlier models are often sold at very attractive prices at ASDA.
The F40fd has a face detection feature and is outstanding value at
£125, down from £199:
