Need help choosing camera: canon Sd 790 vs 890 vs 1100

what's the difference b/n the following
[rfdlink=38]canon[/rfdlink] Sd 790 vs 890 vs 1100 or other [must be pocketable/ultracompact]

these are my priorities:

1. picture quality [preferrably something useful in low light settings]
-clean and clear pictures.
-not too much noise on higher ISO
-MP is not important

2. battery life
3. durability
4. Price.

thank you.

I say Canon SD870 IS.

It is an earlier model, but the only difference is MP and as you say they are not important. Because it is an older model it is on sale pretty much everywhere. Used to be $350 at BB, not they dropped to $250, I personally bought a refurbished online for $200 and never looked back.

Plus the screen is larger on 870 (at the expense of optical viewfinder) but large screens really rock!

Picture quality, battery life and durability on it is the same as others, but screen size and price made it my choice.

Used to have a Sony compact, but all of their cameras have interfaces that totally suck compared to Canon's.
