I have looked araound a bit, and I wonder if not Canon Ixus 400 will be my choise. It is a bit expensive, but I get 4 megapix and 3xzoom and the format is just as my old one. The photo quality has improved a lot since the very first version I have now. I think that this camera was called Digital Elph in the US. I like the battery very much, it is small and it only takes an hour or so to charge it again. Of course I have to buy a larger memorycard, they only give a 32 mb in the package. But I have not definitively decided yet.
