Quote: Quick aside, Tony, what camera did you end up with? I just got a Canon SD630, and I adore it.
I bought a canon SD400, and its LCD broke. I found on the 'net that this is a common problem with the SD series, and when I tried to replace the screen I could see the design flaw that caused the problem. I attempted to repair the problem myself, and the camera wouldn't boot after I installed the new LCD. I did a whole thread on it.
I vowed never to buy another Canon again, and I now use a Panasonic Lumix DMC-FX9. Its image stabilization feature works great, and it allows me to take hand held low-light shots without a flash, albeit noisy ones.
It's only a hair bigger than the Canon was, and it's almost as fast as the Canon, but I like the stabilization. Has Canon put that feature into their tiny cameras yet? I might break my vow and go back to Canon some time if I can get the low light shots with one. I really liked the Canon's features and speed.
