Best little camera around - still
For this size camera, this is an excellent camera. Don't be fooled by more mega pixels. Six is more than the lens can resolve with these small cameras. Also, you get less dynamic range with more pixels crammed into the same sensor size.
When I do replace this unit, I will be looking for a small camera with the next size larger sensor. Hopefully, I will be able to find something without a zillion pixels in a year or two.

Spots on Pictures
I bought this camera in Sept. 2006, as well as, an underwater housing for the camera. From the start, many of the pictures had round whitish spots on them, whether the pictures were taken on land or underwater. I've followed Canon's suggestions below and my pictures still end up with spots. Not only have I invested in the camera but the underwater housing. I will not buy another Canon camera for this reason.
This is Canon's answer to spots that appear on the pictures. "This may occur depending on the shooting conditions, but is not a malfunction. To prevent this phenomenon, please follow these steps.
- Lighten the area as much as possible and shoot without using the flash.
- Avoid shooting in dusty areas."

Great camera
Purchased this camera for my dad who travels frequently. He isn't very good with technology (still doesn't know how to use a cell phone) but was able to learn how to use this camera very quickly. The functions are pretty standard, the larger screen (from our previous S400) was a big plus for him. Also the Image Stabilization has helped him take better pictures. Also picked up a Sandisk Ultra II 1gb card with the camera. Definitely worth it to pick up a higher speed card. We tried other cards with it and pictures weren't as crisp.

Best camera!
I can't say enough good things about this camera! I absolutely love it!!
I have had it for almost 2 years and it's been through a lot and still works really well. It has so many features on it that are easy to use quickly and in every situation. You can change pictures into black and white, or sepia, and other colors on the go. There are a ton of features like that which really make it worth the price. The only thing is that the camera is heavy, you definitely know its in your purse/ pocket when you have it. But that makes it more durable, also.

Wife Loves IT!
I bought this Canon PowerShot SD700 IS 6MP Digital Elph Camera with 4x Image Stabilized Zoom for my wife's birthday because she doesn't like carrying our digital Nikon D70 SLR (although she likes taking pictures with it).
So far, it's lived up to all the reviews, takes good pictures and she doesn't mind carrying it!
The only problems I have with it are:
> Using the LCD screen as a viewfinder - the built-in viewfinder does not portray your picture accurately - and I LIKE looking through a lens or viewfinder at what I'm shooting (much easier to compose your picture).
> It is so light, it's hard for me to keep it steady enough, although the built-in image stabilizer helps a lot.
> Some of the controls are pretty small for my fat fingers.
> Shuts down and closes up after a preset amount of time, which makes wandering around taking random shots - like I'm prone to do - more difficult. The "start-up" time is longer than our Nikon.
Things I like about it are:
> REALLY small and light, easy to slip into a pocket.
> Excellent picture review process, much easier than the Nikon.
> Shuts down and closes up after a preset amount of time, avoiding running the battery down.
> Can be used as a dive camera with the Canon WP-DC5 Waterproof Case for Canon SD700 IS Digital Camera, although my wife isn't too sure about that..........
My wife really likes it, and takes it with her all the time, something she wouldn't do with the Nikon, so it meets my goals!
