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.

Canon EOS 550D
Good dSLR, but you're paying for HD movies and high ISOs. The basic image quality hasn't moved on much
Panasonic Lumix DMC-FS11
Solid and pocketable, but not versatile enough to make the best of darker conditions
Canon IXUS 105
While a thing of beauty physically, its average pictures and trailing-edge tech fail to inspire
