And to add to this, I just got the camera myself to replace a Canon A610. I love it. Check the reviews there on circuit city as well. I do believe this is the only cam that shoots in raw for this price.
In high quality, you can fire away shots (saved to jpeg) with little in between shot time. When shooting in raw, the shutter lag is minimal - but there is about a 3-5 second recycle time. Considering the price - I don't find this an issue. The resulting raw files are handled excellently with adobe camera raw 3.4
You can do some in camera raw developing (changing white balance, red eye, etc.).
There are like over 30 scene modes as well.
Some people complain about battery life. I'm using energizer 2500mh rechargeables. I get about 150 shots. I have 8 of them, so it isn't a big deal. You can turn off the lcd to conserve if that is your style as well.
The macro mode has 2 modes - one lets you get as close as .8 of an inch away from the subject.
If you are gonna shoot in raw - don't skimp - find a 1 gig xd card on sale. A 1 gig card will only hold about 100 raw images - make sure you think about storage, too. The 1 gig card will hold hundreds of high quality jpegs, though.
