Default Replacing current point & shoot mini-digital. opinion on these please (Blue you're a photo guru)

Canon PowerShot SD20 Digital ELPH
Olympus Stylus Verve

Replacing my old and almost dead sony cyber-shot u.

Leaning towards the Olympus: easier menus & 50.00 cheaper

However, the Canon is: 5mg vrs 4mgs, smaller, better reviews.

I realy like the Canon menus. Never used an Olympus though. Canon generally has better sensors too.

Default I like my Pentax Optio S4

I know its been replaced by the S5 or something like that, but it takes great shots.<ul><li><a href="http://www.specialidiot.net/shtfall04/index.htm">samples</a></li></ul>

Default I didn't like the feel of my Rebel....>

Plastic body and felt a bunch cheaper than it should have for $1000. Sold it and bought a Magnesium bodied 10D for about the same price (now replaced by the 20D)...

Maybe the new one's better as it's the same form factor as the 20D but still plastic.....<ul><li><a href="http://www.dpreview.com/reviews/specs/Canon/">Great review site...</a></li></ul>
