Ken Rockwell just posted a little review of the new Canon SD980is.
If you read past his hyperbole and sometimes tongue-in-cheek comments, you'll see that this little camera can take some outstanding shots.
The 980 is the camera I couldn't wait for, mentioned previously. The 960 which I did buy has been doing pretty well. Haven't had much opportunity to use it yet, but the few shots and movies we did make last weekend were much more than acceptable. It needs a little study time to find where all the settings are made in its menus and then some practice time in lower light situations.
