The Camera Question

After about an year without a camera, I have finally bought a new camera(Canon IXUS 230 HS). I started off looking for a compact DSLR(does that even exist?)  but ended up buying an ultra compact point and shoot camera. The inbuilt image stabilization works very well. The macro mode is so amazing that I have been shooting in macro mode most of the time. I might even put together a small light tent for macro photos.
The only niggle I have is getting the camera to focus on the object in a cluttered scene. Hopefully I can figure out how to do that.

While comparing cameras, I discovered www.snapsort.com. This is probably the best camera comparison on the web for a layman.  This is how it compared my old camera vs. my  new one. This is so awesome if I was Amazon I would acquire their site.
