Looking to get a new digital camera

[dman918]

Hey everyone,
I currently have a Canon S45, which has served me well. However, I find that I need a second camera. I really take very few photos overall, but I would like to get a camera that takes a decent picture. I will not print anything out. I never did before, but if I ever did, then I would be looking at 3x5s, 4x6s. I wouldn't mind an ok macro for closeups, but not a big deal. My current zoom of 3x is ok, but I wouldn't mind a little more. I also don't have any brand loyalty.
What would you recommend for me? Also, are there any good places for me to see more reviews and to make my purchase?
Thanks for your thoughts!
Mike

Thanks for the link. I should also mention that I would prefer it used SD or CF since I already have those memory cards.

Are you looking for something really small or whatever?

If I was buying a new one I might get an S2 for $50 over your budget but it's quite large compared to the more compact digital cameras.

Size isn't too important, though I am hesitant to spend too much since I basically take hardly any pictures...

I may have narrowed it down to the Canon SD450 and the Nikon S4. The S2 looks ok, but I think it is more than I want to spend. It is also kinda big. Unless there is a Sony or something out there that is a better bet, do you have any thoughts on my narrowing choices?

There are a lot of camera threads in Off Topic, might want to look through them for other options.

I have an SD450, it's a great little camera with great picture quality, though I'm not camera expert.
