Any way I wone an auction for a canon S70 for £34 on Sunday night.
I have one of these, got mine in the same way. Excellent little camera.
I think this is one of my favourites with it.

edit: try again

As you're used to a dSLR I would take a look at the G10/G11 and the Nikon P6000, bigger sensor that compact camera's, bigger lens too.
They have all the features of a dSLR and nearly as small as a compact. These camera's are perfect if you want to get creative with shots, but also have the full auto mode for if you just want to take a photo.
I would also consider the Panasonic TZ10 as it takes HD video and takes half decent photo's.

ampthill - the S70 is a cracking little camera.
All my New Zealand shots on my flickr were taken with it:

Now I'm on an panasonic LX3 and love it. The only problem is it's ever-so-slightly too big for just taking everywhere with me. Glad to have an iPhone for that.
Some LX3 cycling shots:

S70 like Samuri. Eats batteries now (5 years old)
IMG_1085 by Alex Leigh, on FlickrLooked at an s90, decided to go the other way with a Pentax w80 that is pretty noisy at high ISO but I'm getting used to it. Waterproof, shockproof, cheap. But not as good as a Canon S series.

Nice vid Burts, did you make it?
I got a TZ8 for Xmas so I will experiment with the vid function.
How heavy is it on memory filming in HD?

I love your Flick set. We went to NZ about 15 years ago so its lovely to see it again. Good photography and nice to see what the camera can do
Thanks for the other s70 shots as well folks

Hi ampthill - we were there 6 years ago now. We had 6 months in a campervan. Absolutely amazing.
Didn't get to bike there though.
Liking your Moab shots from '94!Posted 1 year ago # -
Yes Moab 94 is my last decent MTB shots. Hence the need for a new camera to carry around
We cycled the length of the south island stooping off to hike
