I purchased this camera after doing quite a bit of comparison shopping, just like many fellow reviewers. I have had 5 digital cameras besides this one, including a Rebel XT. What I'm looking for on this camera is image quality and features. So far neither has disappointed. I gave the image quality 5 stars because it's probably the best in the class of compact cameras. I really like the sharpness and colors that it produces. Even the noise at ISO 400 is tolerable on screen. It's not as clean as my Rebel XT, but better than my S2 IS. You won't be able to tell the difference (I can't) if you develop 5x7 prints. I don't have problem buying the same camera again as it offers the best bang for your buck.
Having said that, I do have one big gripe about the camera: the battery door is so flimsy that I think it'll break sooner or later. When latched in place I can still feel the door is loose. The rest of camera construction is simply average. Canon has done much better job on other models that this one is somewhat a disappointment.
