Canon IXUS (any wins handsdown)
Look at ANY review page and i would almost gurantee that the MAJORITY of them would rate the IXUS RANGE as the BEST "COMPACT" camera around.
The IXUS 430 aka S410 Powershot in the US? is the same price here as the OPTIO S4 and just by picking i up you can tell better quality.
I have had the OPTIO S4 and they get too hot and malfunction (IN MY CASE) and a firends case...
I would go into a store and look at the PRINT-OUTS as well..you shoudl clearly see that IXUS produces much better quality..
The new IXUS range has the same DIGIC processor as teh DIGITAL SLR's so the colours in teh pics are amazing... if you want some samples i can post..if someone lets me know where a fre hosting site is.. or pass me on your email.. THOSE who are really interested...
JUST look at the reviews site and im sure there will be no questions left in your mind... the IXUS is only slightly bigger than the OPTIO S4.. but worth it!
If i wasnt buying a canon.. then i would go NIKON, going solely on image qulity.. build wise they look like **** and are an AWKWARD POCKET SHAPE.. asin they dont fit nicely into normal cases and pockets.. but they are goodqulaity images...
HOPE THIS helps...
Also CF cards are much cheaper...

I have the Canon IXUS i, and it's a tiny 4MP camera. People still 'wow' when my girlfriend or I take it out. And it's so small, you don't even think twice about putting it into your pocket when you go out. The quality is excellent, the SD card is tiny, and it's a very solid machine, and much faster than any of my friend's cameras. I love it, and I use it for 'snapshots', and a Nikon D-70 for my 'serious' photography.
Of course, if you can afford it, go for the Nikon D-70.

What is the IXUS? Do they sell it in the U.S? it is equal to the canon 500- which is flash not SD
I don't like small cameras, I want something with a good grip like a 35-mm. Plus if you want the best possible pictures you need a bigger lens. Im not looking for compact as much as I want quality and camera control. My picks would either be a Minolta or Olympus.
