Figured I'd ask here since I did before I bought the current one. Need something that shoots HD video as she loves that, something good in low light, slim and something that focuses and shoots fairly quick. She loves how fast my SLR shoots and wants something like that but obviously smaller and more portable - to throw in her purse and go.

I'd like to stay with Canon since I've had a great track record but wouldn't mind checking out a Nikon. Are the newer Sony's worth a shit? I know the old ones were horrible.
