I have the Ixus 400, (the non USA, non Japan name for the same thing) I 
find the results much better than expected. I know many other satisfied 
Ixus 400 users who borrowed mine then bought one! The current model is 
the 410 or 430, there is aslo a 5mpxl one called the 500 but generally 
I think 4mpxl is a max to get good results from the tiny sensors, I 
have not seen 5 or 8 mpxl pictures from P&S as good as the Ixus 400.
