I'd like to thank everyone (Michal, Limtex, Bruno, Clix) who responded to my request for opinions and comments on the "Canon PowerShot S2 IS" hybrid camera.
Some of the reservations you expressed about the Power Shot might now be overcome by the Casio EX-P505 camera.
The Casio was reviewed on 3/25/2005 at: steves-digicams.com

"Steves-Digicams" thinks that the Casio is overpriced when compared against the Olympus C-5500 Sport Zoom. Since I have settled on the SD card for storage, the Olympus has been ruled out because it uses an xD card.

From Steve's revue
"The EX-P505 can record MPEG-4 encoded video at:
640x480 HQ (30fps),
640x480 Normal (15fps)
320x240 (15fps)
The length is only limited by the capacity of
your memory card and the life of your battery. [see firmware update]."
Casio Announces Firmware Update For EX-P505 [extends the memory limit to beyond 1 GByte]

Casio has released EX-P505 Firmware Update version 1.01, the improvements in this update:

* Increases USB communication speed.
* Adds autumn leaves scene to snapshot BEST SHOT scenes.
* Provides support for SD memory cards greater than 1GB.

My concern now is, how important is Image stabilization?
