This latest point-and-shoot digital camera from Canon is a looker. A new iteration in the Ixus line-up, the Canon Ixus 300HS promises high speed, better low-light performance and manual controls in an ultra-compact camera. The Ixus 300HS (also known as PowerShot SD4000 IS) has some pretty nice specs with a 10MP CMOS sensor and DIGIC 4 processor.

My very first camera was a Canon Ixus 30 I bought for Php21k over 5 years ago. Since then, I moved up to the dSLR (Canon EOS 40D) and have been a loyal Canon user. So when I made the stop-over at South Korea last week and saw the gadget sale, I grabbed one of them cheap Ixus models -- the Canon Ixus 80is.
