Need help/opinions on buying a digital camera.?

Question

My old digital camera finally died so I am looking to replace it. I'm wanting something at least 7 megapixels or more, and at least 3x optical zoom. I would like it to be small and maybe fit easily into my pocket. I'm just looking to take pictures when I'm out with friends. Maybe send in an e-mail or post on Myspace or something. If I printed them out, it wouldn't be that big. Maybe wallet sized or 5 x 7. I've been looking at Sony Cyber-Shots but I don't like the touch screens the newer models have. So if anyone has a suggestion or opinion on a camera that would be great. I've looked at cnet.com for opinions but there's just too many cameras to sort through there.

Answer 1

If you don't need any of these fancy options but just a good, easy-to-use camera I think you'd definitely like the Olympus u1030SW.

It's a small camera which is shock-, water- and sand-proof.

We bought one a few months ago to replace my old Fuji and I take it everywhere, even to the beach and you don't have to worry about it getting wet.

Also the battery is one of it's pluses; with a stunning battery-life of about 400 pictures (with the flash on) it never disappoints you.
