Looking for opinions....I currently have an older Sony point and shoot and I'm looking to replace it. The main things I am looking for are very small and compact, thin, with the ability to shoot video as well. I've read several reviews on the following models and all have good and bad reviews...can anyone shed some light on any of the following cameras:
Sony Cybershot DSCW200
Sony Cybershot T-200
Canon SD 870IS
Canon SD 950IS
Nikon Coolpix S51C
Any other models I should look at??
Thanks for the help.

My brother is planning to get a Canon SD870 IS he choose it because its more has a more wide angle. I'm not too familiar with P&S, but you can probably get more help posting this in the compact camera section

If you want to be able to choose aperture and/or shutter speed, the Canon A570 or A720 would be worth looking at. Otherwise, I'd agree - the SD870 (and its older brother the SD800)'s the only PowerShot with wide greater than 35 mm efl. All the current PowerShots, IIRC and certainly all the recent ones, will record video to the capacity of the card, so about half an hour or so on a 4 GB SDHC card.
