Canon S90 if you want something small and compact. Same over sized sensor as the G11. Good high ISO noise performance and a fast f/2.0 lens. It also has really nice controls on it. Easy to use. 400 bucks.

Too big???
Dimensions of the s90:
3.94 x 2.30 x 1.22 in
Dimensions of the sd780:
3.4 x 2.1 x 0.7
I have a sony cyber-shot w290 and i love it. Got it for 200 at frys. It's also 12.1mp and records 720p videos and the dimensions are
3.75 x 2.25 x 0.875 (which is still more compact than the s90)
Hope this helps
