Seems whenever I want to shoot something, the wife has either left the camera at home, or it's low battery, or something. Any recent purchases you thought were exceptionally good? No camera phones, please. Price not really a deal, as long as I get what I'm paying for. Small, simple to operate, clear shots. Thanks.
my 13 year old Sony 3.2 mp sure shot just kicked the bucket 2 days ago while out on a bicycle ride. I'm also looking for similar type camera and focusing in on a Canon. I've got a Canon DSLR but too big and heavy for a bicycle ride. Wife has a Nikon fancy point and click that I got her last year for Christmas but don't want to spend quite that much. So, gonna read the comments and then go shopping.

very timely question to the forum members. thanks.
