Review:
I think that this is a brilliant camera. It has fast start-up, a nice solid feel and plenty of adjustments for the image you are trying to capture. The 2.5" LCD is a big improvement over the one on my old 300d and the controls are nice to use. Even for a novice just starting digital photography but with the intention of going further, this would be a good choice. Without nitpicking, I think this is a good, all-round solid bit of kit.

Ticks numerous boxes, but it's not especially cheap and not particularly exciting
Canon PowerShot S90
The S90 is the enthusiast's dream, offering compactness, great image quality and superb controls
Panasonic Lumix DMC-FX550
Disappointing. The hybrid touchscreen interface is lacklustre overall, and the lens isn't that good
Panasonic Lumix DMC-GF1
Very expensive, but, as soon as you pick it up, you know this camera is special
