It used to be one of the hottest cameras around and a lot of people had them. Mine had a glitch where (I called it possessed but) the wheel would change modes on its own. I thought they would have fixed it by the next generation and when my camera got stolen in Barcelona last year I bought the newer model of the same camera. Bad move. It's doing the same thing and now I have to have some time off travel this month as I've sent it off to the Tech guys while it's still in warranty. Meanwhile, my cousin's little Canon is doing a great job, so I know what my next camera won't be. I’m really not surprised that my ltitle Sony Cybershot isn’t in the top 5.

I got mine about two years ago and it's still going strong. It packs an incredible bang for very little buck. The battery life is great, although something I highly recommend for travelers is getting multiple batteries so that when one dies you don't have to wait around for it to recharge. 2 thumbs up for Canon!

I was in the market for a small point n shoot and thought I'd give the Nikon a try. Can't remember what model it was but may have been the one reviewed here. Anyway, it was crap. It felt cheap and the pics were horrible. I returned it, paid the additional $80 and got a Canon Ixus. Point being, you can't go wrong with Canon!! As an aside, don't get suckered in by megapixels. New models seem to come out every year and the only difference is more pixels...which don't matter unless you are printing massive prints. I've been a Canon man for as long as I can remember.

I'm shocked at what mine has survived, including a brief swim in the Mekong. I'll second the Canon comment. I'm shocked at what mine has survived, including a brief swim in the Mekong.

Mine is going on 3 1/2 years old and still works great...though, admittedly, I should still probably look into getting an upgrate. I'll put in my vote for Canon.
