we have seen the casio ex-v7
everything else pales by comparison\

some of the comments from the review above
"The flash range is great and coupled with the metal body, high ISO capability and image stabiliser suggests it is geared up for going out with."

"Simply put, the Nikon Coolpix S510 does not have much to set it apart from the slew of similar point-and-shoots available on the market"""

ok , so we have temporarily dimissed the nikon
  until we find a camera warming review for all these nikon cameras
  lets take a look at the canonsd870 is
  wide angle, good, must have feature for a new high priced camera

   steve says::
The PowerShot SD870 IS Digital ELPH Camera is ideal for style-conscious photo enthusiasts with impeccable taste who want their substance to keep pace with their style.

   that's quite an opening for a camera warming review
   you can read the whole glowing review yourself..
   but i will prefer the cheaper  wide angle model i looked at earlier
  ( under $200 from fujifilm or olympus )

more commnets on the sd870 is on the web
Those people on a somewhat tighter budget can pick up the SD800 IS for under $300.  As I already have mentioned, the SD800 and the SD870 are relatively similar cameras with just a few differences (mostly cosmetic).  The SD870's competition will consist mostly of other Canon SD models as well as the Sony DSC-T100, which costs about the same as the SD870.  The SD870 will have more competition very soon, however, from other manufacturers who will be releasing new models for the 2007 holiday season.

i am all for finding a cheaper alternative
many great cameras have dropped $50 in the last few months to below $200

but here is a youtube, to help you loosen your wallet


but there is something i dont like about this sd870, it does not optically zoom for video
nothing beats the casio ex v7 after all

i dont know anything about  using digital camera for video
but this casio ex v7  does not seem to use quicktime format
according to steve"""
This latest edition to the Exilim line of digital cameras features the newest movie format – MPEG-4 H.264/AVC recording – which provides recording and playback of high-resolution video at remarkably small file sizes"""""

in any case, i see canon has a whole series of sd models
  the sd850 is on sale for  $320 at staples

i dont know what you use the camera for, but if you have a list of features in mind, i am sure there will be many models  that will satisfy all your needs  and with  a reasonable price in the next 2 months .,
and they could be any brand

study the ads from london drugs, best buy , future shop
i noticed recently, staples and kerrisdale camera, actually take the lead in dropping prices for a few camera
take for example, the canon S5IS  $390 at staples is the lowest i see so far

keep your eyes open
i dont know much about braodway camera
but i think i saw many days ago, a guy bought a pentax DSLR at london drugs
it seemed to me the guy asked for a price match,
the sales lady checked  the price of the competitor on the web, and gave
the guy a lower price to match , the the competitor could very well be
" something called bccamera "
broadway camera probably has a price matching policy too
