Speaking of the Optio MX it's available at Wal-Mart, and the price has been discounted quite a bit recently. It might be a good choice.

Some of the Pentax Optios use AA batteries.
Based on my experience with the Optio 550 (which uses a proprietary battery
and so doesn't fit your criteria) I would certainly take a look at any such
Optio. The images as they come out of my camera require little or no tweaking
to produce a very nice print. (Also, the lens on my Optio is as good at
resisting flare as my Pentax SLR lenses are. This matters to me.) So on the
principle that they know how to get this right and other cameras in the line
probably have the same excellent qualities, I'd look at them.

I can understand why mankind hasn't given up war. During a war you get to drive tanks through the sides of buildings and shoot foreigners - two things that are usually frowned on during peacetime.
