I have had the sd450, sd550, bought the 630 took it back and got the sd700. I read all the dpreview reviews, and actually thought I wouldn't like it, but I do. I don't find any of the corner softness areas that some have posted about. Maybe I just got a good copy. the IS is nice, and the ISO performance is decent. Only decent, above ISO 400, I wouldn't shoot with it. You should be able to pick one up for about 370$ shipped, they have come down in the past two months. when you go SLR, I would still go canon. The high ISO performance just rocks, but camera bodies and lenses are one of the most subjective decsions out there. yes, the sd700is is very good.

I don't think you'll go wrong with a Canon, but for point and shoots you might want to check out the Fuji's as well. They actually have some pretty good color technology in my opinon of course. Of course the real jump up would be to a DSLR and then you either go Canon or Nikon but that's a bigger investment and it's a rare bird (odd ducks like me) who like to carry those big beasts around. I'll have to try and figure the Slingbox thing out again at some point. Let me know when you guys have one that will allow my Cat6 cable to go in and then another to go out to hook back into the Media Center PC in my living room that I need internet access for.
