Recommend a good, compact digital camera

[SaturnX]

Hey all,

I'm looking into upgrading from my old Canon PowerShot A40 (3.2 MP :Q) to something newer and definitely smaller.

I'm looking for a camera that's at least 5MP (which seems to be the standard now), and that's compact enough to fit into my pocket.

I like the Canon SD Digital Elph series cameras (at least size-wise, don't know much about the technical aspects quite yet), and I also don't want to break the bank either.

So if you've got a compact camera that you love or recommendations on one that would be greatly appreciated.

I enjoyed my A40 and was impressed with the quality at the time, is Canon still the way to go?

Cheers!

I'll leave the camera-picking to others but I'm very satisfied with my Canon Powershot A630 (it's a nice size but not compact). When I was researching cameras about half a year ago I found that Canon was regarded as the best over-all; no clue if this has changed though.

The Fuji f31fd and f30 are both very good compact cameras, especially for low light situations such as in a bar. The Sony T-100 is also pretty nice.

Thanks, I'll look into these, does anyone have any other suggestions?

What's the consensus on Casio EX series cameras?

Thanks again!!!
