looking for new camera after pemature death

Oct 23, 2004 7:13AM PDT

my wife dropped my olympus 4040 and that's the end of that story! Now I need a new camera. Important points: -great photos; 4-7 mp; 3-5 optical zoom; fully manual in addition to full auto(many years with 35mm work); short shutter lag time; relatively compact and preferably less than $600.
Thanks for any coments.

my only hesitation is the size of the G6.
which online retailers do you recommend?

The Canon S70 is considered the little cousin of the G6.

It does not have the f2.0 lens of the G6.
Instead it has a wide angle lens.

I use www.newegg.com for mailorder.
They have good prices and reasonable shipping charges.
