I'm thinking of waiting and getting the Canon SD850 IS in June. (When Canon claims it will be available) http://www.usa.canon.com/consumer/controller?act=ModelInfoAct&fcategoryid=145&modelid=15262

Since I am going to end up waiting anyways, I wanted to know if there was perhaps something better for me.

First let me list the specs that are on my must-have list:
Small camera (Something that can be slid into a pocket easily Here's the dimensions of the SD850 IS Dimensions (W x H x D) 3.56 x 2.22 x 1.04 in.)
Image Stabilization
Face recognition (or something similar hopefully)
Decent megapixel (7 or higher I'm thinking is the sweet spot)
LCD Preview screen
Rechargable battery pack (no double As, etc.)
640x480 @ 30fps video
decent ISO settings (though I don't personally know what is considered good and not good)


Wants
Red-eye Correction
Optical viewfinder
3+ zoom

I'm looking for something in the $300 to $350 price range. Does anybody know of a another camera that might still suit my needs, but is already released that I could order? I'd appreciate any recommendations from more knowledgeable people than I may have.

Thanks for any help you're willing to share.
