So, I really would like to take a camera with me when I go out riding, and don't wanna bring my XT and glass. I was looking at sub $200 Canons. Whats good out there right now? The PowerShot SX100 seemed nice.

It's smaller than an XT but bigger and heavier than what I'd want bouncing around on my back - but I'm a roadie, not a MTBer, so take it with a grain of salt. A camera on a bike ride has to be a compromise of some sort. My compromise is an sd400 that fits in a jersey pocket. Evan
