Question about Canon S300

[Isocene]

Im looking to buy a canon S300 digital camera. Ive read many reviews and all of them seem to like it. But id like to hear from someone who owns one. The cheapest I can find for this camera right now is $480 with shipping from buydig.com . Is it worth that price? Im going to be studying abroad in Japan for a year and I leave at the end of this month. I want a really good camera that I can carry around with me and not be too bulky. The movie feature seems nice too. I cant find one in any stores so I havent been able to hold it or see it in action. So Im hoping from some responses from people here! Any comments would be greatly appreciated. Thanks!

I have the S110, great little camera
The S300 has a longer optical zoom, but they are pretty close.
Go to a compusa or best buy and check it out

The S300 isnt in any stores! Ive checked all the major ones in Austin, Texas!
