I bought an Optio SV after using my daughter's S4. It is a little bigger than the S4 or original S, but with a 5x optical zoom vs the 3x on the rest of the Optio line-up. The LCD is bigger too. Get an Optio with an optical finder. It cuts down on chimping and is especially useful in bright sun when the LCD gets washed out. They were running deals on the SV ($50 off) in the US.
