Canon PowerShot SD1200IS 10 MP Digital Camera with 3x Optical Image Stabilized Zoom and 2.5-inch LCD (Light Gray) Decide Now

I bought this camera for my niece and tested it first.
Pros:
1. small size, perfect in fact. Small enough to go in my jeans pocket, but shaped just fine for my arthritic hands.
2. has an optical viewfinder
3. love that it automatically changes to macro in the auto mode when you get really close to an object.
4. flash works really well.
5. seems to work well in low light situations. I took pictures while going through a drive through at night and the menu board looks great, and the business next to the drive through looks great. Did not have the flash on.
6. I held the camera and took a lot of pictures of my own face in different lighting situations and every one of the pictures turned out really well. Perfect focus every time.
7. very quick shutter response
8. Battery charges quickly and lasts a good while
9. robin's egg blue very pretty color
10. picture quality acceptable
Cons:
1.makes a lot of little noises, but I quickly learned to ignore them. Didn't notice them much after a while. Not a deal breaker.
2. no paper instruction book - CD instead.
3. not as easy for me to figure out as my larger Canon A720IS. Guess it is because I am so used to my own camera.
4. only has 3X zoom and I am used to 6X

I am buying one of these for myself next week, but ordering the charcoal color so I will have a different color from my niece. I love my current camera, but it doesn't fit in my pants pocket, and sometimes that is what you need.
