buying a digital camera soon
DrewKaree:
Wal-Mart online (of all places) is selling it for $307, so I'm betting you can get this for under $300 somewhere.

Steve's Digicams gave it a very good review and it's only $276 shipped from Butterfly Photo, but it's as big as what we've got right now, heavy on batteries and uses XD media as you said.
To a lot of people this is trivial stuff, but I guess I'm being picky.

After trying out a friends Sony DSC-W1, reading a shite load of reviews, going to a store and having a look at a bunch of different models, remembering that I do have two 512mb MMC cards that work in 90% of SD cameras and talking with the wife, I've decided to go with the Casio EX-Z55. Yaaaayyyy!
Now that that's decided, anyone want to buy a used Minolta Dimage s414? It takes fantastic photos but it's not what you'd call pocket-sized. I'll throw in a 512mb Sandisk CF card and a nice Targus camera case for $160 shipped.

From Experience, let me recommend the Canon Powershot Elph S410.
Small form factor, great automatic and manual controls, GREAT images, low price, durable.
Let me also recommend that you DON'T EVER buy a Kodak. You may find a few people who had good experiences, but I've had 3 cameras, and they were all terrible. My sister also bought one, and a friend bought 2, and EVERYONE either returned them or threw them out. In general the Kodaks I've come in contact with have been garbage.
