After years ofAll of the major makers produce cameras that will give you great quality pictures. The one big criteria for me with any digital device is the ability to use a standard battery. The ability to shove standard AA batteries in a digital camera has saved me more than once when stuck in out of the way locales.
looking I finally got an XA4, (28mm), just as neat but wide angle and macro.
Maybe you should look at the Canon s50, (5 mpx. ) It's heavier and slightly
bigger than an XA, but it's clamshell design and neat controls please me the way
the XA did 25 years ago. No bad habits, good work, good optics too.
Just food for thought.

Most cameras that take the lithium CR-V3 should also take standard AA batteries. In fact, I see that more and more makers are planning to offer the feature of using standard lithium batteries like we are used to with film cameras. 2CR5, CR123, CR-2 etc.. comes to mind.
