Answer 1

By comparison, you would be better off with the Canon SD1000 - it has image stabilizer,which would be helpful in preventing blurs; face detection also helps with preventing red eyes asides from focusing on faces, uses SD card. The Nikon doesn't have image stabilizer and face detection.

Sony and Olympus 840, Might as well get an Olympus Stylus 790SW which is shockproof and waterproof, and about $20 more than the Canon. Here's a site for it:

Most of the problems with digital cameras is they stop working after they are accidentally dropped. The accidental insurance for it are expensive. For about $100 more than the Nikon you can get a much sturdier camera. I would pick myself would pick the Olympus 790 SW. This camera will most likely last twice as long or longer than the rest of them.
