fred, what would you buy in a point-and-shoot, based on what's out there today?

i'll buy whatever you suggest...it's your field....i'll take your word for it.
My point & shoot camera is a pentax too.. love it but wish it was as small at this one.

the guys using sony's.....don't you find that there's a small shutter delay??

canon's have no delay evidently.....
All digicams have a small shutter delay. I remember a year ago when I kept myself updated on everything about digicams, sony's performance was probably above average (in terms of shutter speed).

Do not buy a camera without a focus assist light. I think most Nikon cameras don't have it.

Just bought a Canon S60 for my gf (she's more of a photog than I am), I used it a few times and I like the wide range of modes that this camera comes with; and you can have manual settings on quite a few things as well.

I think this camera can takes pic @ 5 MP; but if you are only printing standard size (4"x6"?) any 4 MP camera will do, the higher the MP only translates to the ability of printing a bigger picture clearly.

It retails for $700 + tax here, so it's not exactly a great deal - got hers in HK, the total came to $630 taxes in - now that's a steal.

A must have for a digicam would be tripod when taking pictures on a not so sunny day. Definitely do invest in one.
