My new Ixus 870

Well, either my old camera will never show up, or it will take quite some time.
So, I had no choice (ehhum, hehe...) but to open the box, and pick up my new camera, which I bought this Monday. The shiny and sexy Ixus870, gold of course, not silver version.

It's so good, I can't believe it. OK, so I haven't checked the picture quality yet (I trust the reviews, for example dpreview.com and kenrockwell.com).
I have only toyed with it for two hours, but it's fast, powerful and smart. Controls are laid out in a perfect manner, some buttons can be set to do what you find useful.
Focus can be set to Face detect and Servo AF (a high end SLR feature!), so it tracks faces and should give perfect focus on moving subjects.
The 3" screen with awesome colours is viewable from ridiculous angles.
I don't know what more to say... oh yes, if you do not have a camera yet, or your old one needs to be replaced, buy one!
