Financially, you can get quite a few digicams with 3x or more, with varying price range of $400 - $1000. Physically, are they jeans pockets, or cargo pants pockets, makes quite alot of diff in the size of camera, such as Exlim vs Canon S50.
Also, I wont say the IXUS 400 is 'old', as they are launching the IXUS 430 soon, which is basically the same camera, just that the new 430 has Pictbridge support or something like that.
cwloo said:Ya, what I mean 'old' is the model is around for more than a year already. Canon most likely will come out with a updated version .. eg. Ixus 430 (I didn't get this news .. ;p )
I think his budget is less than $800 , cargo pants ...

mr_jason said:Well, as I said before, the IXUS 430's optical quality will be similar to the IXUS 400, as they use the same CCD and Digic processor. It's basically the same camera all round.
For under $800, you should be able to up the IXUS 430 when it is launched. Recommended Retail Price as listed on CNET is S$699, which means it should retail for at least $50 less in shops. With an $800 budget, you could also get a 128mb (though I'd recommend 256mb) and a spare 3rd party battery.
Also for consideration can be the A80, or yet to be released A75, which will cost way under $800 also.

The original rechargeable battery is cheap too ~$35 if you want a backup.
sumball said:By the way, anyone here can advise me on Fujifilm 420? Seems like it is quite good, recording at 3.2MP but output as 6MP.
crrabb said:I just bought the Coolpix 3700. Small size and high LCD definition. Good for beginners who doesn't require much manual settings.
Mpenza: where can you get the original battery for $35? The sales ppl told me that it costs $70+ for original, so i dint buy it
