You would be hard-pressed to find anything substantially better than that
camera for the same money.

Advantage: Uses Canon's newest DiG!C III image processor. That promises the
best performance regarding "shutter lag" - the bane of virtually all
point-n-shoot cameras to date.

Advantage: Uses two, common 'AA'-size batteries.
Disadvantage: Uses two, common 'AA'-size batteries.

(Huh?)

The real advantage is that you can purchase batteries for this model virtually
anywhere. The downside is that it uses only TWO of them. That means you'll
be changing batteries frequently, particularly if the built-in flash is used
much.

I may buy one of these as a spare camera. That's a helluva price for this
little gem.

You would do well to ask your question in a more appropriate newsgroup:

Good luck!
