Was hoping someone would give a recommendation for the best P&S camera for a friend of mine who in the market.
I own the 5D and have not been in the market for a P&S for sometime.

He has considered the 700 IS. I also noticed that there is an 800, 900 and a new 1000 available.

Am I correct that the 900 and 1000 do not have the IS feature?

Does anyone have experience with these models that would recommend one over the other? Or perhaps a different route all together? What about the Pro series?

He wants something somewhat small that is easy to take along.

My biggest concern is IQ. But I'm at a loss as to what to recommend.

Any feedback would be greatly appreciated.

Hi Sammy!

I just got the A710 IS a few weeks ago. So far I love it. The image stabilization work very well. The camera takes great pictures and is very easy to use. It can be shot in the all Auto mode or the completely manual mode. I love mine!
