Thanks Mike, I appreciate your help. I've been reading waaay too much about these things and realize that probably over 90% of the photographs are just for webviewing, so the g1 could well be a waste of money and size. That p300 looks perfect for size, how do you think it would do in the dark clubs though? Any idea on how long the battery lasts? Also, I see mention of flash cards- are these jsut for storing digital photos, or are they actually used as flashes for dark photos? I'm getting there, lsowly but surely, thanks.
Follow Ups:
The G1 apparently does much better than the S300 in low light. Compare the reviews at Imaging Resource...Canon S300:

http://www.imaging-resource.com/PRODS/G1/G1P.HTMScroll down to the bottom of each review for comments about low light performance.
I don't know how much of the G1's low light performance comes from a more sensitive sensor and how much is from longer shutter speeds. In a club environment you probably wouldn't want a long shutter speed.
Those reviews also have comments about battery life.
A flash card is just for storing photos; it has nothing to do with taking flash pictures. (The name comes from the type of memory in the card, which is called "flash memory".)
I'll have my S300 in a couple of days, so I should know a lot more about it then...
