I think I understand what you are saying in your post, that the SD15 is as good as it got before, and the best ever, probably, and the Q is trash. Or useless.

I just wish I still had my SD15. Half of my sentiment is simply longing for the taste of those images. And, that taste might have been embellished in my memories.

However, I see SD15 sales occasionally in this forum and have never taken the bait. This ought to tell me something. <>

With my retro-step to the SD9, I occasionally think of selling the SD15 but somehow can not bring myself to do it.

But there is still a reason why I like the SD15 images best of all; I just can't put it to words.

For me, the color rendition is about the best of the SDs with the SD10 a close second. The 460,000 dot LCD aids good composition and the AF and AE (when I use them) are good enough for my purposes.

The much under-rated SD15 is the pinnacle of the SDs IMHO - remember the initial reviews "still doesn't do video" ...

The 21 shot buffer and >4 sec processing time are also the best of all the SDs.
