Yes it was me who was asking about digital cameras...
I settled for Canon Digital IXUS, too. The main reason being the small size (fits my handbag without much trouble, along with a kitchen sink and a full make up kit...
). As PP says, the manuals aren't brilliant, but it's fairly easy to use (it has to be if I can use it), and the software works pretty well (can take a bit of getting used to, to use it to its full potential though).
