Thanks thus far guys. Apologies for not noticing the previous thread on the A80 !

I had drawn up a list of what I thought and it was all Canon anyway. The Ixus 500, 430 and A80.

The 500 is a good £80-£90 dearer, which is money that can be spent on a good 256 or 512 card. I think I'll recommend the A80 and see what prices he can get over there.

Thanks again gents.
