Canon seems to be the only major (easily available) manufacturer still providing an optical viewfinder in many of its digicams. Other than the brand name, they offer lots of positive attributes, not the least of which is good glass, SD cards and a plethora of features. (After fooling around with some of these features, I've found them much more useful than I expected.)
A sensible way to make a decission is to pick up several and see which comes best to hand. They vary from sleek shirt pocket size to significantly more bulky models. My wife never felt comfortable with either extreme, and since she's the member of the family with international photocredits, who am I to argue.
