Canon Powershot SD400 vs Nikon Coolpix 5900 [Archive]
I've found the SD400 for $325 and that is the most I am willing to spend on a camera.... Overall Im about where I started except Im leaning away from the SD400....

(i was considering different cameras than you though), I broke the LCD on my S400, so when i heard the SD400 was even more prone to a broken screen i decided to stay clear, as im not the most careful person.... (if the lcd & E18 story is true then I would say 5900 is the better one)....
