I have a Canon A720 is. Compact, but not as small as the elph, but you can put lenses and filters on it. I like the image stabilizing also. The elph was just a bit too small for me and I like the shots I get with the A720 better.

I also look at customer service. Last Thanksgiving, I had an elph that quit working. I called Canon and the camera had been out of warranty for 10 days. They told me they would cover it anyway since it shouldn't have quit working. They paid shipping and I had my camera back within two weeks. I've been sold on Canon since.
