I find that the negatives with this camera are reasonable compromises to achieve the benefits I care about. If you are still interested in them - head on over to the forum at http://forums.powershot-tx1.com/ and ask away and the friendly (but biased!) TX-1 owners will help. One of my favorite features (in common with other Canon P&S cameras) is "upgrading" the firmware to get a bunch of pro/technical features using CHDK: http://chdk.wikia.com/ The open source CHDK software is continually being improved, so I keep getting new features on my camera - fantastic!

It's an evolutionary upgrade from the S3 (which was evolutionary from the S2 you have), but it contains a few new features: * hot-shoe for external flashes * DIGIC 3 processor for the fancy face detection et al. stuff you mention * 8 MP (S3: 6 MP) * 2.5" rotating screen (S3: 2") It'd be cool to have HD video in it too, but that's probably a little much to ask for what's meant to be a good photo camera.

Your hands were consuming a lot of screen space and blocking the view of the new camera. I've got the S2 IS and was thinking about getting a compact. Wouldn't bother with this hybrid. It's fancy, but looks like a small brick, not something that would be easy to wrap your hands around. HD video but only flash cards? Meh. Some day they'll get a 1.8" HD in these things and finally get one of these devices right. You should shoot your video facing the camera, not to the side.
