sd1000 vs sd850 IS

The cost of the 850 shown on Vistek is not too far off the cost of the Canon S5. IMO the Canon S5 is one of the best cameras you can get without going DSLR. If you go with the 850, I'd suggesting taking a look at the Canon S5.
I actually picked up the S5 a few days ago. It's pretty sweet.

I don't have an issue with it's size, it's not like you need two hands to carry it around. But if your looking for something compact that can fit in your shirt or coat pocket, I can see where the size of the S5 would come into play.
PowerShot SD850 IS
3.56 x 2.22 x 1.04 in./90.4 x 56.5 x 26.4mm
Approx. 5.82 oz./165g (camera body only)
PowerShot S5 IS
4.60 x 3.15 x 3.06 in./117.0 x 80.0 x 77.7mm
Approx. 15.9 oz./450g (camera body only)
Sounds like the SD850 would be the way to go. Good luck!
