    Camera that meets my needs

    I want a digital camera with the fallowing criteria

    Budget
    $450 is the about the limit.

    Size
    Doesn't matter as long as a good camera

    Type of Camera
    Point & Shoot with some/alot manual features

    LCD
    I would like the LCD to be at least 1.8" but a 1.5" will do if there is a good deal.

    Zoom
    At least 3x optical zoom (would be nice if there was more) and it doesn't matter how much digital. I won't use it at all.

    I was currently looking at the Sony DSC-T1, Kyocera SL400R, and the Pentax SV. I am open to any suggestions and would like to any comments.

    Maybe the upper range of the Canon Powershot A series...The A95 perhaps? Maybe a little thicker than you're looking for though...I have an S series, and it's great, but the A95 has the extra manual features...

    Hi

    I recently purchased the Panasonic FZ20 .
    It has most of the features you are looking for , much cheaper than a slr camera.
    Features : 12 optical zoom with image stabilizer ( leica lens )
    5.1 mp
    Fully manual control
    constant F2.8 brightness throughout the entire zoom range .
    I am very pleased with the results of the images.

    Regards
    james
