A Great Travel Camera

I teach art and need to take photos in museums. In museums the light tends to be low and no flash is allowed. I bought the SD 700 to take on a trip to Spain. It was inconspicuous and never a pain to carry. Most of my photos came out well even under difficult conditions.

What I like:
. the image stabilization, I was able to shoot often at a 13th of a second and sometimes at even lower shutter settings. Image stabilization was especially useful for dealing with low light conditions.
. the build quality, the camera easily withstood the travails of travel.
. the 2.5 inch LCD screen, I could (and did) use it to evaluate my photos so that I could discard bad photos while in our hotel room.
. the warning lights, these call for special comment: they really can be a great help if you pay attention to them (at first I did not). The yellow focus light is especially useful. In dim light a low contrast subject (such as a Bosch painting in the Prado) may give the auto-focus difficulty. I learned to deal with this with the help of the warning light.

What I wish for:
. More options for manual exposure control.
. I would like to have one or two custom modes and a museum mode.

With its combination of reliability, stability, flexibility, power in a very small package, and low weight this is a great a great travel camera.
