Canon PowerShot SD450

Pros: Small and Fast

Cons: No battery indicator until it's almost dead

Summary: I love my Sony F717 but I always had to think about whether I wanted to lug it around. Smaller than my cell phone, my SD400 (the only difference is a smaller LCD screen) slips right into my pocket and I’m never without it. It turns on instantly and has given me the opportunity to take photos I might not have otherwise had. The battery last forever and I can carry spare because it’s only about 1 X 1.5 inches and only ¼ inch think. Combined with a 1 gig card and you’ll never miss a photo opportunity. Settings are very intuitive and it’s a snap to make prints with my Canon photo printer. The only down side is, I’ve scratch the heck out of the LCD screen. A stronger flash would be nice, but I wouldn’t want to sacrifice size.
