Best Compact Digital Camera - Canon Sd780is

After reading over the manual I have started playing with the Canon's scene settings--there are a lot of these, which is fantastic. Though there are some scenes that are pretty worthless in my opinion (read: underwater, fireworks).

The camera takes MUCH better pictures when you use the scene settings. MUCH, MUCH better. I do wish that there was an "Outside/Sunny" setting because I find that using "Beach" or "Snow" do not work at all on a bright day...they just throw the white balance of the photo way off. I've even tried setting the ISO to 100 or 200, but even on a bright day the image is not as clear as I would expect with all those MPs

One of the big features for me is the digital macro function. I use my camera extensively in business and often need to take macro shots of components. I was blown away by this capability. It was better than my macro lenses on my old SLR 35mm cameras. Just read the manual instructions first.
