I can vouch for any of the S - IS series of camera's from Canon. Everytime I get a poster printed at the store the guys behind the counter ask me what kind of camera I took it with. I tell them it's an S2-IS and they start laughing. Then I tell them, no, seriously, an S2-IS. It usually takes me saying it three times before they believe me.
I was going to get an S5 about a month ago since the S2 is only 5mp. But the S5 came out last year, and they'll probably have a new offering soon. I'm hoping it'll be 10mp. Oh, that would be a good camera.
Eventually I'm going to have to get a SLR though. I have a Rebel Ti film SLR so I'm just going to get another Canon DSLR so I can use the lenses I already have.
