How important is size ? If you can compromise on size (not pocketable) then you have a wide array of options that will invariably give you better image quality and a lot more options (view finder, flash options, zoom, fast lens .. etc) under $300.

However if pocketability is must, then you are right, a generation behind gives 90% the same performance without having to pay a premium

Hmm, well size is important, I'd really like it to be a pocketable unit. But said that, I also can't give up on IQ, as I said many times already. Actually I am in kind of a dilemma here, confused.

I owned three P&S Canon's so far, S5 IS, Ixus 900 and another one which I can't remember atm. Ixus 900 was pocket friendly, but yes it didn't have IQ like S5 IS!

Say if I forget about pocketability atm, then which one could be my option/s?

Thanks in advance.
