I now have two digital cameras, a very small one and a pretty big one!
The small one is a Canon Powershot S400. I wanted something small, fast, and with good battery life and the S400 fulfills those goals. I did give up some manual control that the Casio QV-3000EX had, but I now also have the 'big' camera (see below).
