Funnier than you you sour bastard 8-)

The fact is I want a 2gb card. Just waiting for the price to come
down...

Maybe a 1gb for backup...

LOL I agree with that completely. In addition to the Minolta Dimage Xt
and Sony CyberU and possibly the Olympus Stylus 300 & 400, you might
want to compare the Canon S400 to the Casio Exilim EX-S3. It's an
interesting job, with 3MP, what I believe is a fixed lens, and -- most
importantly -- it's ridiculously thin. Also, for such a thin and light
camera, I was impressed with the huge and bright LCD screen on the
Casio EX-S3 when I played with one @ Radio Shack the other day. I'm
99% sure the EX-S3 has a 2" LCD, which is huge when you look at the
dimensions of this camera.

Also, I noticed at Ritz Camera a little while ago a small camera
(slightly thicker than the Canon S400) made by Kyocera. And, I thought
they made only printers & cell phones. :) Anyway, the specs seemed
pretty good for the price. I don't know how competitive it is with the
Canon.

Finally, if price is of interest to you at all, you may want to
compare the S230 to the S400... The S230 is still a pretty good little
Digital Elph, admittedly not as cool looking and only 3MP instead of
4MP, but you can fetch prices for them much cheaper online.

I hope that helps somewhat.
