I got a Canon SD1000 (just a point and click) but when I changed the firnware, I can do alot more like run scripts, change the shutter speed, the flash timing and all kinds of things that I don't even understand yet. You might want to take a look at CHDK. It is nice to have a pocket sized camera that has it's pro functionality tapped. it should be great for an empegger.
