canon a470 or something else?

I'm looking for an inexpensive ($100 or so) point and shoot that takes sharp photos and has decent low light capability. Doesnt have to be great in low light, just acceptable. Sharpness is my primary concern. I am currently looking at the canon a470, as it seems to be well regarded in that department. There are times i dont want to carry my Kx somewhere, but still want the ability to take a.decent shot. My current polaroid p&s just doesn't cut it. Just wondering if you guys have any other recommendations in that price range. Thanks!

Charles.

I don't really follow the p+s market, but you should check to see if the a470 can load the CHDK firmware and let you do all sorts of crazy stuff with the camera. If I ever do buy a p+s, it will be a powershot, and CHDK is why!

It can, but I don't really care about that.
