Canon PowerShot A800
For a few dollars more, reviewers say, the Canon PowerShot A1200 (*Est. $90) offers better features and performance, although the A800 runs neck-in-neck for photo quality.  We found thorough reviews of the Canon PowerShot A800 at PhotographyBlog.com, CameraLabs.com and PCMag.com.

DOESN'T COME WITH A MEMORY CARD!! :-(
I'll upgrade this review at a later date perhaps, if the camera turns out to be wonderful OR if I find somewhere on the website where it says "memory card not included".
