The SD780 is definitely in the lower end of the Canon product line, so some other alternatives would be the SD870 or SD970 or the G10.
The big change that has happened though, is the emergence of affordable, super capable DSLRs.

Thank you for your response. My husband is just getting into photography and we enjoyed some of your postings on other photography threads. By "noise" I mean a general fuzziness. Bear in mind that I was taking a photo of our living room, so there was no motion to contend with. "Thalassa" is Greek for sea. Any chance you are Greek? Thanks again.
