I've realized for me that with point and shoot cameras it comes down to A: image quality, and B: portability. Some of you might have seen my post on the Leica point and shoot, which was a great camera, but for me portability became an issue. The lens that stuck out about a half inch made it hard to just slip in your pocket, and since I don't carry a purse it creates an issue. Therefore, I never took it out with me.
Lets face it, point and shoots are really made for "friend" cams. Something that you take when you're hanging out with people. I'm not the one that's going to lug an SLR around everywhere I go. That said, megapixels in a point and shoot are all relatively the same whether you have a 6mp or a 10mp. I'm rarely going to print them let alone print them to a 12x18 inch size. So it doesn't really matter too much, as long as it's at least 6mp.
I finally decided to replace the Leica after I sold it 5 months ago. After much research, I came across the Canon SD750 Digital Elph. It was only $215 on BH, so very inexpensive for a great point and shoot camera. It slips right into my back pocket like butter. Some of it's cool features: Manual mode which gives you 2 stops of exposure compensation, a decent macro mode, a photo stitching assist mode, different color settings, as well as others. One great feature is the red eye remover that you can go into and remove the redeye after you've taken the shot. Very handy. I'd recommend it if you're looking for a great little P&S. Pick it up at BH here: Canon SD750

OH OH OH OH MY HAPPY ENDING....ALL OF MY MEMORY....
