Perhaps I am being paranoid and reading too much into it. PC Pro magazined
have A-listed the Ixus-55 but that little baby seems to be going for well
over �200. The Ixi <g> do seem to be a very good and neat range of cameras
so will probably go for a 40, 50 or 55 depending on what the price
differential actually turns out to be
