Side thread...
I went and checked out the T1 in person and compared it to the new Canon SD300... I think I'm gonna go for the Canon. It's form factor is almost perfect (as is the T1) and it has some amazing video capabilities along with the pano feature that the T1 lacks. It also seems to take better photos from the samples i've seen online. The only thing that keeps me going back to the T1 is it's speed. That thing has UNREAL fast startup and shutter lag times. Fastest digital camera I've ever messed around with.
