I picked up the Canon SD700 in Feb. this year and it takes great pics and my wife likes it because it will fit in her pocket. I believe it was replaced by the SD750.
In my research it was determined that about 7 megapixels is about the best resolution the CCD chip will do with out getting too grainy from the point and shoot cameras or was it more do to with the lenses than the CCD chip? Anyway some of the reviews I read of the higher pixel cameras said they became very grainy especially indoor shots(we do about half indoor and half outdoor, or last camera was quite grainy indoors so I was determined to get a better indoor camera). This Canon takes the best indoor shots I have seen from a point and click camera. I was also looking at some of the higher ISO rated cameras(FUJI appeared to win in this area) and the reviews from users said that they were over rated so I went with the Canon.
The Canon takes great movies as well. The body of the SD series is metal and it uses SD cards.
