I’m planning on buying myself a camera for my birthday this year, and I came across the ‘Canon Powershot’ in my online search. I like the different colors it comes it, and it seems like it fits my personality well..but is the camera good all around?

I’m thinking of buying a Canon Powershot SD750 silver for my girlfriend as a surprise. She had told me a few months ago that she wanted one. I could buy it for her , but the price is kind of steep at $299. I was wondering is there another digital camera that is just as good but a little bit less pricey? It could be $225 or less. I know she wants a camera that is slim, and that can fit into a pocket. Also she wants one that has a nice LCD screen to watch the previews, and has different picture modes. Any suggestions would help.
