Since you have a SLR camera, you have the knowledge to use a camera with manual controls.
None of the ultra small cameras have manual controls.
The new Canon A510 is 3meg and has 4X zoom.
It has manual controls, and sells for $199.

If you want more megapixels the A520 is 4 megapixels and costs about $50 more.

Hey all. I need help. I'm usually good at picking a camera but I'm having issues picking this camera for myself.
I'm a college student and picking a camera on a shoestring budget. I have a 5.1mp camera that is an SLR but I can't bring that huge camera with me as I backpack through Europe. I need an ultracompact to take pictures of all those buildings I'm going to be seeing but I will also have a large Photoshop assignment I have to do while in Europe.
There in lines the issue. Should I go with better zoom, better image quality or better res as "all of the above" doesn't match my price point. Yes, I know there is little diference between 3.2 and 4mp but I *may* be manipulating these images.
I am trying to pick between:
~ Casio Exilim EX-Z40 (4mp, 3x/4x zoom, not-the-best image quality, more expensive than I really wanted
)
~ Canon Powershot SD10 (4mp, 5.7x optical zoom
, good image quality)
~ Konica DImage XG (3.2mp
, 3x/4x zoom)
Any opinions?
