I'm in the market so allow me to pick the conversation back up.
I'm looking under $200, just want a solid casual camera that takes good pics for events vacations etc. I think even the lowest megapix nowdays is more than enough so not wrapped up in that.
As I stated elsewhere, I bought a Canon Powershot a few years ago but despite modest use it died after only a few years, so they are likely out (fool me once and all that). I always recalled Nikons considered a cut above SLR-wise, but the digitals don't seem to be getting such great reviews lately.
Features? I think most any dig camera now has all the features I need and most I want - the more zooming power the better of course, multiple pre-sets for varying pic types (outdoor, indoor, one with a faster shutter speed for "action" shots etc), movie mode WITH sound (again I think most have that now), and oh a red eye feature that actually works - they almost all have one but I've seen spotty results.
