Jeanette, yes. I was very impressed myself with the camera, considering it's smaller than a cigarette pack. I carried it always with me everywhere, until I lost it a couple of weeks ago (and ordered a Ixus 7, eh eh). I was expecting less quality than 35 mm, but overall, provided I didn't do A4 prints, it worked nice and definitely doesn't weigh in my shoulder. And yes, it's nice, quiet place too :-) And great food, last time I was there :-)
Impressing result from an Canon Digital Ixus 40. Cause this has a good tonality, the light through the curtains is very difficult! Good! ...and nice place too :O)
