I'm looking to make a purchase of a good camera that will be small enough to throw in a pocket and not notice. For the cheaper and tiny canon SD1000 ~$200, fuji f31fd and its quality high iso and dark lighting but largest size ~$230 and the sd800IS with its IS mainly ~$300.

I am supposing the very good quality of the high ISO on the fuji is somewhat comparable to the IS on the sd800, but am not certain on that aspect. Does anyone have any of these cameras and have any recommendations and such?

It will be my only camera, taking it on a trip, but it will obviously see some casual use otherwise.

I'd go w/ the is800 Canon, I have this camera, it's small and a very good snapshot camera.

I have a Sony Cybershot DSC-W70. It's fantastic. I got it for like $250.

Fuji just released the f50fd. Looks like it's similar to f31fd but comes with a even bigger sensor (1/1.6") and most importantly, they now have proper image stabilization in it. It'll be a while before you can buy one though. If in hurry I would still get the f31fd, which is awesome for low light photography (the norm for indoor shots).

To me a major disadvantage in sd800 is the lack of manual control, but it's otherwise very nice.

Yeah, for how much it costs, you should be able to change the shutter and aperature manually, but noooo.

But honestly, it still is a great camera, and I have yet to encounter a situation where I wasn't able to obtain some pretty damn good shots due to the limitations of the camera.

sony dominates the market on P&S cameras, not on number of units sold, but quality. They have excellent sensors in them and tend to provide much more vibrant colors than competitors. ...IMO...

Agreed, Canon has the best P&S's, I owned an Olympus, Casio and Sony, And my friends Canon P&S's win any day. Especially the a710 IS, For the money best P&S you can get IMO.

Sony may make the sensors but they don't know wtf to do with them, Take the Alpha for example...
