Looking some more, the S90 is also tempting, so it's between the

S90 $350
S8000 $250
and SD4000IS $350

It would stretch the budget for the more expensive two ( $350 street
price )
if it would bring $100 more joy to my shooting, but what's a credit card
for?

If you're paying that much you might as well get a DSLR - the larger
sensor will make for better low-light performance.

Jane specified in her first post that she wanted a "purse-sized"
camera. No dslr is truly purse-sized.

I can see why someone wants a pocket-sized or purse-sized camera to
carry around. There are times you want to have a camera available but
not carry around a large dslr. Ideally, you should have a good dslr
and a good p&s and take whichever one that suits the situation.
