anyone else? Hello?
I just bought the Canon PowerShot SX120 IS and love it! The only issues I have with it is how long it takes between shots when using the flash (it's very annoying to me but I'm an extremely impatient person) and that it uses AA batteries; I much prefer the lithium batteries...they lasted so much longer in my Fuji camera than these AA are lasting in my Canon. Besides that, the photo quality is great (far superior to my Fuji and that also took some great pictures) plus there are a decent amount of options you can use should you want, or just fire away in auto.

I adore my Canon PowerShot SX120 IS too. It is a but annoying when you're using flash, but since I am against unnatural lighting of most kinds (I understand that sometimes you just need the flash with a P&S), I bulked up on Energizer Recharge AA batteries and got a 15 minutes charger at Walmart (a bit pricey, but well worth it). While the batteries didn't last me long in Disney (since I took far too many pictures), they lasted a good while while I was in Vegas.

I have 8 Duracell pre-charge, and 8 Rayovac hybrid on me (8 for the powershot and 8 for the speedlight) and took just under 400 shots at AK without having to change batteries. I changed them to be safe so they wouldn't die on me in the middle of something cool. I used to buy Energizer AA lithiums but these pre-chargers have been saving me too much money. I just charge them overnight before a shooting day... and I prefer the duracell chargers and batts even though the rayovacs have 100Mah more.
I do not know how true this is, but I heard that the Duracells with a white top are actually Sanyo Eneloops and the ones with the black top are actually Rayovac Hybrids. If true, that means that the main two suppliers of the low discharge cells are Sanyo and Rayovac, with Duracell making none.
Myself, I have three sets of the Duracells (two sets white and one black) and i have one set of Rayovac Hybrids. All seem to act about the same to me.
I used to use a Duracell charger that had four independent circuits, but recently upgraded to a Maha MH-C9000 WizardOne and am very glad I did. It is a little intimidating at first, but this thing is a great charger. It brought a few sets of old regular rechargeables back to life. I really like having control over the charge level as well.
