Default Cockpit digital cameras?

I am looking closely at the Canon PowerShot SD800 IS


Just got one of these - I think it's rather good. The killer feature
is the 28mm wide-angle lens - no other camera the size has one, and
while it doesn't sound much wider than (say) 35mm it makes a big
difference to what you can fit in the frame. The image stabilisation
should also help with zoom shots.

Worth noting that the other new Canon SD - the 900 - has no wide angle
(37mm), and no image stabilisation, trading them for more megapixels
(which you don't need) and a titanium body (ditto).
