I bought the Canon Powershot SD780 IS Digital Elph a couple of weeks ago and couldn't be more delighted.  First off, it is tiny and light weight, smaller than a deck of cards or a pack of cigarettes.  The LCD screen on the back is crisp, clear, and bright so you can see it even in daylight.  There is also a viewfinder should you prefer.  The camera has numerous settings for portrait, view and etc, and an automatic face finder which focuses on faces.  Because it is 12 megapixels, the clarity of the photos is amazing.  The lens pops out quickly, and there is a simple button at the top of the camera which allows you to bring objects in tight or wide.  I had actually been considering buying a big SLR (the Nikon D5000) which is nearly $800 and obviously does much more, but this little camera (which also shoots HD video) is so wonderful, I am beginning to doubt if I want the bigger one.  I love being able to slip this into my pocket (it is smaller than my iPhone!) and take it everywhere.
