While hunting? That's a bulky camera to lug around.

I have an older Canon A300 that I don't like so much. The new Canon Elph's are great though. My Brother in law has one. Big LCD, very good interface, and lots of nifty in camera features that you can actually use. The Digic II chip makes for the best digital pictures hands down.

The elph can also fit nicely in your chest pockets too.
