Smile Boring new camera thread, and some advice

Well i'd love a DSLR, but i can't afford one nor will use it enough to warrant it. I definitely need an ultra compact point & shoot though for nights out and to take cycling with me

Narrowed it down to the IXUS 70 or 85 (or whatever else Cannon want to call them in different countries ).

Both small, and have viewfinder which i didn't think i'd miss with my last camera, but realise its probably more important than a slightly bigger (but same res? whats the point in that) LCD. Don't really care about the pixel count, they'll both be more than necessary, in fact i'll probably turn them down anyways, for quicker writes and more pictures...

Basically what other difference are there between these? Both DIGIC III, and seem to be of similar spec, i can also put CHDK on both of them. So why should i get the 85, when the 70 is slightly smaller and probably half the price, thats an example of deals on it atm, i don't really want a printer with it.

Or have i missed another camera out ther in the ultra compact form that could be better/cheaper (or a mix of both?).
Cheers guys, i'm hoping to buy soon, i've been missing my camera since December now and i've missed so much (including xmas, new year, my 21st! to name a few, meh!).
