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.

Checking out some of the trophies from guide services at the Eastern Sports and Outdoor Show back in February:

You know, those vinyl wraps are starting to grow on me.

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