That is a great site. I am glad to see my Casio did well there (4.24 out of 5) So did my old Sony, DSC-F707 did well also!

I just bought a Sony Cybershot DSC-T7
It is amazing. It is the same height of a pack of cigarettes and 1/2 the width. My GF and I share it and it is so small, convienent and takes great pictures. 5.1mp ..

In terms of low light.. You will be hard pressed to find any camera that takes good pictures in low light. Reason: that is all a camera does, it captures light. So when there is no light to capture, it can either enhance electronically (gain) which makes fuzzy images, or give you a low light picture. Flashes on p&S cameras are usually meant for a 6 foot range with a high burst. Good for taking pictures of your friends.. If you want clear, low light pictures, there is only one option... A tripod !

Good luck and look at the T7.. you will be amazed.

My father-in-law just got the Canon Powershot S2 IS, lots of features including 5mp, 12x optical zoom, image stabilization, SD memory card, flip up flash(reduced red eye). If you want a camera that gets close to a DSLR, I would check it out on dpreview.com.

All of you people suggesting the crazy number of MP (ie. 5 and up), realize that this is useful only if your going to make the pictures HUGE, right?

I have the T33 and like it. Fits easily in the pocket. The new T7 is even slimmer.
