Been looking at the Sony DSC W50 and i've heard a lot of great things about it. Any other recommendations?? Price around $200.

Check out dpreview.com.

x2 on the Canon advise. I've had 5 over the past 7 years and they've all been awesome and all still work to this day. I like the Casio Exylims too.

Do you still have to buy Sony memorysticks if you have a Sony camera? That was always the major turnoff for me, Sony used to charge almost double if compared to SD or CF cards with equal memory.

I think so. They also change formats so often. memorystick - memorystickduo - produo - memory micro. Jeeze.

I bought a memory card for my SE phone (2gb for 55+tax)
the next week I had to pick up one for my new nokia... (2gb for 18 flat)

I do like their UI on the phones though...

+1 on dpreview.com ... very informative website. You will notice that they also favorably review the Canon's....

I've been using my Canon SD600 for a couple years now, and it's great. Durable, good size, real good pictures, etc. I'll buy another for sure.

If you can push your budget to ~$250 I would highly recommend the Canon SD870IS. I think it is fantastic for the price.

Key features:
-Image stabilization
-28mm wide angle
-decent zoom range
-underwater case available

Things to note based on preference:
-huge LCD screen and no optical viewfinder
