Trying to sell my 40D, would like to get a compact...

[speedy2]

I'm not sure what to get. I need to sell my 40D, but I'd like to at least get a nice compact that the wife can use, since she has no desire in trying to use or figure out how to use the 40D. I have an A80 that I got for cheap, so that will be mine for awhile. But, I hate to sell a 40D and not get at least a newer Point and Shoot for her.

Budget? A Canon S90/95 will at least retain some nice creative options and advanced features, while remaining nice and compact. I'd expect the 40D should cover that and then some.

Got any good lenses for sale?

Budget would be around $300. I really like the new S95 since it has HD Video as well. I could always sell my old Mini DV camcorder I have to help pay for it.

I have a MF Helios left. Already sold my Tamron 17-50mm

Ok I'm really liking the S95. But then there's the SX130 and the SD-4500. All so close in features and price. The SD-4500 even has 1080 Video. How do I choose....geeze. I haven't looked at point and shoots since 2003.

I'd go with a Panasonic LX3 or LX5 for that price range, unless your main focus is the size of the S95.

It has a slightly wider range than the S90 or S95, and better ISO sensitivity to boot. Plus, it's a point and shoot that gives you the option to manual focus, something I love!

Sorry, but with the HS system, I'm thinking the S95 is going to be the winner in low light performance.

Look at those ISO 3200 crops!

I'd be interested in the 40D
I actually have a "DSLR wanted" thread up in FS/T right now.

I am in no way a camera expert, or even novice for that matter but we recently had to buy a new P&S. Looked at the Canon S95, SX210IS as well as Panny ZS7 and Sony HX5.

Ended up going with the ZS7 due to price/quality ratio and had good comparisons with the others. $250 at B&H photo.

You might want to also look at the Nikon S8100 but it's not out quite yet.
