The Canon Powershot 230 I got last year completely change the way I
take travel pictures. It was a delight. It's size and general
efficiency (being able to review pictures for one thing) was a delight.

I know it's not what you requested, but I can't think of a better time
or situation to consider digital. Canon's Elph line is really quite
amazing and because of how small, light and effortless the entire
process is, one manages to get a lot more volume out of the thing than
you might with a full bore 35mm rig--even a small one.
