Actually, I've been having a bit of dissatisfaction with my SD700 IS, and I'm wondering if it's just me. Every single picture I've taken with a flash with that camera has been terrible. Absolutely terrible. Worse than I recall flash pictures being on my older digital cameras. Have you noticed that?
On the other hand, with IS, I've been able to take almost everything I wanted without the flash, and those come out great (which begs the question of why the camera thinks the flash should be going off in those cases). But it means I have to remember to turn off the flash every time I turn the camera on (actually, I should see if there's a way to change the default behavior - that would help), and sometimes a great and transient shot that would've been wonderful is ruined by the flash going off.
