It was bound to happen...

Yeah, so I did buy a Canon Digital IXUS 50 (known as the Powershot SD400 outside Europe, and with an extra 'ELPH' tag after that in America). The camera is indeed tiny. Somehow its size hadn't quite registered with me when trying one in a shop, but when it arrived and I started opening the many-layered boxes to get at it I wasn't sure there would be room left for a camera. And yet, there it was, no larger than a credit card in width and height (though I think it'll be a while before we get a camera of this quality that's actually as thing as a credit card). So anyway, here it is sitting on my new laptop: The picture quality is pretty damn good for such a small camera (it's obviously not going to match the EOS 350D I took the above picture with, but that doesn't mean it's anything other than great still). It starts up fast; focuses fast and takes pictures fast. It's fast. I didn't expect such a small camera to perform so well, especially with the continuous shot. I'd post some example photos if I had any that were worth it, but so far I've just been taking random pictures at home. As soon as I have some decent ones they'll go on Flickr though.
