I have the Canon A75, the model up from the A60. My dad has the A60, and he likes his so much, and I did too when I used it, that I went out and got the A75. I'm very satisfied with the quality of the pictures, with all the different settings it has, and with the general feel and layout of the camera itself. It's very easy to use.
However, if I could do it all again I would get a digicam with a swivel lens. That way, you can take pictures more secretly, without people realizing you're taking a picture necessarily b/c you're looking down at the screen while the lens is pointed elsewhere. Now, before you go thinking "CREEPY! taking secret pictures of people!", this is why that's fun: If you're travelling, and want to take a picture of something but can't help getting people in the frame with it, it looks a lot better if they're just walking by instead of gawking at you like people do if they know you're taking a picture. It can also be good for taking, say, stealth pictures of someone with a really bad mullet or something.
Good luck with finding a camera!
