Re: Canon G2
Any compact camera is going to suffer from red eye in low light conditions, at least to some extent. Red eye is a result of the light of the flash reflecting from the open iris back into the lens. The wider the iris is open, the worse the red eye (thus the problem in low-light) and the closer the flash is to the lens, the worse the red eye (hence the problem in compact cameras).
The G2 provides (and Doc mentions in his post) a workaround: it has a hotshoe to put on an external flash. This, of course, destroys the compactness of the setup, but it is part of the extensibility of the camera that I think makes it so attractive.
