I have used a sony for 5 years now and it is time to replace it - 2MP. I am looking for a camera I can use rechargable AA batteries with and use either a compact flash or SD memory card - not proprietary memory like the Sony. I want a optical viewfinder as looking at some of the LCD screens in bright sunlight is next to impossible sometimes. I have decided on the Canon PowerShot 620 a 5MP which rates well for quality of photo image and not bad with follow-up shots. I looked online and found it for $209, which can be a lot less than the local electronics retailers are offering them for.
Another manufacturer I was looking at was the Panasonic brand - the selling point was that they have a image stabilization feature that will improve some shots.
The Pentax Optio WP - has some fisherman sold as the camera for them. I have heard that they work great and the ability to take one of those half-in/half-out of the water shots is appealing.
Good luck,
Pete
