    Compact Camera Advice - pls help
    Hi all

    would love to pick some brains - I live in Australia some place so not much choice on the camera front - had my Canon IXUS500 for a few years and dropped it so now need to replace it. Was going to get the Canon IXUS800 but have had some problems with losing data and having to reformat my camera and have heard other people complaining so was looking to change brands.... (big step.....!!??!!)

    1) want the camera for
    Movie modes - have a small baby and want to take short viedos
    Photos of baby moving (would like a faster falsh thingy....) - like I click to take the photo and by the time it shoots my little one is way gone!
    Photos are usually left on computer and we only really print a few off we like for frames

    2) Choices available
    Canon IXUS800
    Panasonic Lumix DMC-FX07
    Pentax Optio T30
    Sony Cybershot W55
    Sony Cybershot T100
    Ricoh R6

    Have walked up and down shops for days and there have been no assitants at all who have been unable to help me. Don't care too much on cost - just wanted some help from people who know something about this stuff.

    Thanks heaps!!!
