They are vera-nice.
My Pentax Optio 750z is supah nice. I don't have a bad thing to say about it, barring Christian thinking it has styling similar to 1970s vintage cameras.
Other than the one thing, it is a fantastic camera.
Try the Pentax Optio series

Seconded. Love the Optio 550.
The only complaint is that the camera takes about 5-7 seconds to boot, and I've missed a few shots because of that.

What's the optical zoom?
Two things I care about in my next digital: optical zoom, and how fast it can focus and shoot. Not just the boot time. My last digital, after pressing the shutter button it was a second or more to focus before it would shoot.

D-SLR's are by far the fastest and coming down in price

My Optio 750z is 10x zoom Optical
There are 2 settings for focus on the 750z
One is equivalently "Small box in center of viewer or Nearly the whole blooming viewer" It takes a lot longer fot the large box... as it has to average everything. Two is focus mode "Single or Continuous" Single works very well for a quick series as it only has to focus once. Continuous is just that, it basically finalizes and shoot (easily less than .50000235168709[link|#one|1] seconds using the Big Area, faster yet with the Small area) Basically this thing is only carried online or in "Professional Photograohy Shops", I have yet to see it in places like Best Buy or the such. So, IMO, goto a Pro Photo Shop and look at it (call ahead first to find one) --
