Like the title says. My old 3mp Canon A400 just isn't cutting it anymore. But I'm having trouble deciding. We'll start with what I don't like about my old camera.
(in order of most hated)
-sensitive to motion unless lighting is perfect
-slow ass follow up shots
-mediocre picture quality(was pretty good in it's day)
-crap battery life

I'm considering either a nice point/shoot or DSLR. Here are two I've been looking at lately.

good
-p/s is probably more suited to my skill level
-compact
-720p video that actually looks good http://www.vimeo.com/4541103
-image stabilizing
bad
-slow follow ups (2.3sec according to CNET)

good
-capable of great pictures(even if I'm not)
-fast follow ups
bad
-it's big(not a major issue though)
-'mo money


My big hang up is the follow up shots. I missed out on several good shots(master chief teabagging link) at Otakon last year because of this. But the video capability is a selling point for me. Even though I always considered it a gimmick on my old camera I still used it at times. And since this actually looks good I'd probably use it a lot more. On the other hand I'm certain the DSLR is capable of getting more and better pictures. But it's kind of big and it's $200 more. So camera crew what do you think? Should I get one of these cameras? Or do you know of something better suited? Do you have any advice in general of what I should look for?
