I also have a P+S to take when I go on holiday, go to the beach, etc. and I don't want to carry my full DSLR kit. So far I've had an old Sony W5 which has served me well. But, it's time to replace it and I've been looking at the Canon Powershot SD880 IS. It's been getting very good reviews, it does have a wide angle lens (one of the reasons why I'm looking at it in the first place), it is more compact than the G10, and it's reasonably priced at around $250 right now.


Here it is compared to some other similar ones:
