okay you guys, I need your help
I do not want to risk being camera-less. The Olympus is busted as mentioned before and the Sony is getting so old that the flash takes about 2 minutes to recharge and the motor on the lens is so slow that sometimes I can't tell if the camera is on or off. So I am thinking of buying a new camera. All I want is something small that will take good pictures. Obviously I don't do anything fancy with it, though I would like one that is versatile enough that if I wanted to take pictures of things like bees on flowers or other things that end up on interestingness I could do that too. I'm looking at the following:
*Canon Powershot SD 700 (has a 4x optical zoom and real image stabilization
*Sony DSC-T9 (my Sony served me well before, right?)
*Sony DSC-W100 (has shutter and aperture manual option, in case I want to take "real" photos)
*Fuji FinePix F30 (has aperture and shutter speed control)
Any and all input will be more than appreciated. I'm working overtime this weekend so I should be able to afford it. I've read reviews on dpresource.com, dpreview.com and steves-digicams.com but I'd really just like some real person feedback. Thanks.
