I'd go with Canon's newest, 790is. Full metal body, is, 3" screen, 10mp and same size as sd1100. Also has new scrolling wheel for easy access to camera settings.

so far I'm liking the canon SD1100 IS, SD790 IS. I'm kind of partial to Canon cameras (I already own a Rebel XTi). I have to do a little more research on these before I make a decision.

Just remember, don't underestimate how useful a true wide angle on a pocket camera really is.
IMHO it's not even worth looking at all these cameras that start at like 36mm when there are options out there that have 28mm lenses.

not to thread jack, but would be the best PnS with video? I have a cheap HP now and the picture quality is pretty good (as good a a 80 buck camera can be). But the video sucks ass. I would like it better if i didn't have to buy a video camera too.

Canon SD1100IS
We picked one of these up about 2 months ago for my girlfriend. It's a great little camera, I'm kind of jealous. 3x optical zoom, image stabilization, face detection, etc. Takes pretty good pictures and is nicely sized. I wish she hadn't gotten the pink one though, because of course I end up holding/carrying it most of the time when we use it.
