I have a 16mm-35mm on my Canon DSLR, and I would worry that you are only going to get one type of picture at 16mm. 16mm-35mm is pretty much the same unless you work on getting closer. That isn't always possible though.
I would still look into the picture quality of the Canon G12/G11 since it can fit into a pocket, won't get dust on the sensor, won't need different lenses, and has the ability to zoom. Then bring a DSLR so you can take high quality photos when it is possible without interfering with the experience, or the lighting conditions demand it.
I think I might have to take that advice.
