I had originally went to Best Buy to purchase a Canon SD450 but they were out of stock, so I decided to look around. The closest camera that I could find, w/o spending more that $300, was the Sony W50. It seems like a pretty good camera. It has very little shutter lag which is a big selling point for me (that is why I had originally decided on the Elph). HOWEVER, it seems that when the Sony is in video mode you can not zoom. I know this is mainly a still shot camera but if you can get a camera that does allow you zoom while in video mode(like the Elph) why wouldn't you go w/ that one?
