My third Canon digicam for a PowerShot S20 and PowerShot 40th + Good picture quality with good contrast and high depth of field + Very natural colors even in bright sunlight on the lake + Videos in surprisingly good quality + Canon usual excellent service + Sturdy metal casing, super processed - Cover for battery and SDHC card acts "shaky" (same coverage has survived in the Ixus 40 but been 5 years ...) Conclusion: unrivaled!
