Hi all! I am going o purchase a P&S camera to supplement my Lumix FZ. I am travelling soon &cannot take my big Panasonic due to carry-on restriction. I will have the laptop & my purse :), so I am at my limit. I really don't want to exceed $200 (USD) since I have a great camera already, but neither am I willing to buy just for the sake of having a small, compact one. I am not totally restricted, but would like one that uses SD cards since everything else in our house uses them and this really would help keep cost down. I have read the discussion threads and dpreviews as well as Steves Digicams reviews.
My field is narrowed (I think) to the Canon Axx series, Nikon CoolPix L series, Fujifilm FinePix Fxx series and the one I really want is the Sony CyberShot W50 (uses memory sticks). The memory card isn't a huge deal, but a consideration. Mostly though, I don't want junk images from what I buy. I am not looking for champagne on a kool-aid budget, but something that will give me good, clear solid memories in photo form.
Your help is deeply appreciated. I am open to other ideas as well. ;=)
Having been here almost 3 years, I know where to get some good ideas :~)
