Choosing new digital still cam

[alex76]

Hi,

After using my Canon A40 for past 2yrs, it's time to change to a smaller lighter cam...

My budget is less than $400...
Besides Sony S600, anyone can suggest something similar to this cam?
Requirement:-
2" LCD display
not necessary high CCD pixel (something more than 3mega pixels should be enough for me)
must be using conventional AA or AAA batteries.
Video caPture with sound

Thanks for any suggestion

Either Canon A430 or Nikon Coolpix L3. I like the Coolpix L3, available in white, blue, grey or silver.

2.0" 85K pixel LCD, 5.1MP, uses SD card & 2 x AA batteries. It has the 3 usual very useful features. (1) D-Lighting (2) In camera red eye fix (3) Face priority AF. Price is only $340 with a 256mb SD card & case.
