I'm looking for something compact, but has some manual setting features, and takes good shots, with good glass. Asking a lot for a point and shoot I know. I'd prefer to stick with a Canon model as I'm partial to them.

Anyone have suggestions? I looked at the S100 yesterday and liked it, but of course can't tell how good the pictures are looking at it at Best Buy. Seemed pricey at $449 as well.

There was an ELPH 300 that was about $150 that looked interesting as well.

Suggestions?
Well, I think I've narrowed it down to two cameras.

Panasonic Lumix DMC-LX5

Canon S100

Anyone have experience with either?

The Canon is a good choice. I know a guy with one and his shots are very good in a wide range of situations/lighting.

Just pulled the trigger on the Canon S100. We'll see how I like it. Got a large car event coming up next weekend and it'll get a good workout.

Mr. Speedy -- that was quick (get it?).

Another wrapped vehicle in our caravan. Facebook really kills the quality, but I'm too lazy to upload to my Flickr.
