Which compact canon to get?

[joodunnome]

Hey all I have a question that I hope someone can help me with. I am going on vacation to Maui in a month and I'm looking to get a new digital camera (my old one got ripped off, I had an older canon elph that was only like a 2 or 3 megapixel i can't really remember). I want something that is small but also take great pictures for being a smaller camera. I also want something that is worth the money spent. I'm looking to try to keep it in the $200 to $270 range. I really want the SD700 but my girlfriend doesn't want to spend over $300. So I was looking at the SD600 and then I saw the SD550. Which one is better? Or is there another brand out there that is cheaper but takes great pictures? Also does anyone know who has the best deal out there for price right now?

Thanks for the help,

Matt

The sd600 is a little bit faster from shot to shot and delay, but you'r going from a .2 sec delay to a .1 sec delay. Of course that varies on shooting environment.
