OK. Votes for the Fujifilm FinePix 26x0 and the Canon PowerShot A40. Both look like nice cameras.
One more qustion: I've used some digital cameras where there is a significant delay between pushing the button and the damned thing taking the picture. How do these two rate on that? I've missed pictures because the 1 to 2 tenths of a second delay meant the pic I was after was long gone when the camera activated.
