I just bought a Canon S30. My requirements were: 1. $500 or less 2. 3MP minimum. 3. Either Compact flash or Smart Media. 4. Portability (eg. it's small), The Canons are CF. S30 is 3MP the S40 is 4. The G2 shares some of the features. A friend of mine from Atlanta who has a G2 and loves it.). Here are some URLs http://www.steves-digicams.com/ http://www.dpreview.com/ http://www.pcworld.com/reviews/article/0,aid,81989,tk,cx031102b,00.asp http://www.dcresource.com/ http://dcresource.pricegrabber.com/index.php/ut=cf12c78c18a901e2/
I bought mine mail order from BigApplePhoto.com. They had some problems with Master Card (not mine, but with their verification). They took my Discover and upgraded the shipping free. When I called customer service during normal business hours, I talked to a real live human who was able to answer my questions. (I had ordered an extra Lithium battery which was back ordered, but not indicated on my shippment). They were a bit higher (about $1.00) then the lowest on price grabber, but were higher rated.
