      Could someome explain Canon's series numbering to me? They all seem to run together.

      they used to correlate with MP's, but I don't think there's much of a pattern anymore

      In general the higher the model # the more features it has, but some of their newer cameras have lower numbers than older models (g, SD880IS is newer than SD890IS).

      http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Canon_Digital_IXUS is my guide,
      canon number system is really confusing, but they make great cameras, that is what count at the end of day

      yea, canon is the way to go with few exceptions.
      but why do they always include those tiny memory cards?? give me an extra strap or something. what a waste

      Reason for the tiny memory cards is a mystery. Perhaps so you can take a couple trial pictures the minute you take the camera out of the box?

      Or they made a billion of them back when one and two megapixel cameras were the state of the art, and you could get a lot of pictures on a 2 Mb card? And they have all these leftover cards they need to get rid of, so they stick on in with each camera.

      Tiny, near useless cards gotta purely be a promotional gimmick - like "batteries included" is - they give you crappy cheap batteries so you can open it up on christmas and theoretically start using it.
