On a recent trip, I apparently broke the screen on my SD800 IS, so I am looking for a good replacement. Prior to this camera I had a SD300 (broke that one too) and really like both cameras, so I would like to stick to a Canon SD.

I am looking at an ultra-compact because I like to be able to out it in my pocket for quick access while riding my motorcycle.

Thanks in advance for your feedback!

I have had many SD series cameras and Love my SD 990 because it has manual and is supported by CHDK, on a different note I just replaced the LCD screen on my SD500 (not to bad a effort) and it works just like new. Screen was just $50

Thanks for the reply. I wasn't aware the screen could be replaced without sending it to Canon or repair center. Where did you get your screen?

got it from http://www.darntoothysam.com/ for $50.
just a little tricky, about 45 min and done

Someone on the other posts is talking about Hong Kong replacement parts being 1/2 the cost
see non-OEM replacement parts? post
