S330 supersedes this camera in price and features.
I think I'd still go for the S110 though. Either
the S330 or S110, you can't go wrong.
Pros: Excellent pictures, compact, stainless steel, stitch function, compact flash, takes quicktime movies Cons: Pricey, comes only with 8MB flash, no case or AC adapter
I've been keenly watching the digital camera market ever
