Here I go again ;) - I hope Canon or Sony releases a followup to the Ixus 700 (SD500) or P200!

DPReview says: "Samsung releases the compact 8 megapixel Digimax V800"
http://www.dpreview.com/news/0506/05060301samsung_v800.asp

I will lean towards the P200's followup (Possibly a P250??) since the last time I waited for the Ixus 700, no Tv, Av and full manual controls were included.

Here are my hopes of what the P250 (Or perhaps the Ixus 800) will have:
-8 megapixels (1/1.7")
-4x optical (Zeiss or not, I don't mind)
-2.5" 230,000 pixels LCD
-Tv, Av, scene modes and full manual
-Real manual focus (No presets!)
-Continuation of the great MPEG4 unlimited movies + movie zoom, focus and snap
-Better, unlimited burst mode
-Lotsa noise reduction
-$400 - $550

And I'll be very happy ;)

That looks good to me, but I'd want to add full size 1600 ISO shooting in there too. And maybe some better no light or low light focusing gadget.
