Ixus V3 really that good?

[gabloh]

Just when I'm quite convinced that Ixus V3 is my dream first digicam, I came across quite a number of bad consumer reviews from the canon forum from www.dpreview.com/. The reviews suggest that V3 is not as fabulous as it seems. One even suggest that it's AiAF is useless. Auto-focusing on wrong objects etc..... And it takes lousy night shots. Any comment guys?? Or any camera of similar size and range to recommand?
