Honestly you can't go wrong with a powershot if you're just looking for a point-and-shoot camera. The only "faults" I think I've heard them have universally among the PowerShot series is that they weigh more than other cameras generally do so if you're looking for a pocket camera that may be a drawback, but I honestly think the quality and features make up for it ten fold!

Can't be any heavier than my current camera! It said this one weighs 5.2 ounces.
What I want in a camera is:Macro, a Decent Zoom, Clear, Clean pictures, and nice night shots.
On my current camera I have serious trouble with night shots.

I had trouble with night shots on my A300 (three years old) but only if I used the night flash. If I used the regular flash and turned exposure up, they took fine night shots.

I have not tested my new SD500 with night shots yet.

But I guess, if you're taking night shots not to use the night flash. I've found they always make the picture blurry, anyway.

EDIT: Also you never want a camera with digital zoom, ONLY optical zoom! Digital zoom is not even a zoom. All it does is blow up the picture and make it larger / pixellated. Optical zoom is the only true zoom and the only zoom you ever want to get.
