yeah when it comes to P&S i'm leaning towards Canon but even those new ones that have great features are a bit bulky, G9 & G10. does canon have any P&S cam that supports 16:9 mode?
....& NO - having a DSLR doesn't make you an instant good(pro) photogrpaher. some are complaining that their P&S takes better picture than their DSLR's coz some don't have any idea on the Basics about Light - which photography is all about. "why is my subject dark! i'use the flash for it" errrrrrr
