But seriously, I'm looking for a nice point and shoot camera to take pictures at family partys(college partys as well), snowmobiling, trips to Barcelona etc. Anyone have any good suggestions or good or bad experiences? Thanks guys.

Some of the features I want:
-3" screen
-4-5X optical zoom
-small to fit in a pocket
-5 or greater megapixel

Check out www.dpreview.com/ they have some very good comparisons and write-ups, also don't get hung up on MP some times a camera with 4MP will take better pics than one with 6MP.

I think Cannon SX100 is nice...
I find a review for it, quote it here.

"The good: First-rate photo quality; full set of manual exposure controls; optical image stabilization; electronic lens cover.
The bad: Too easy to accidentally click instead of scroll when navigating; no optical zoom in movie capture. "

I find that a decent deal for it is only $260.

Yes, thank you. That will be my next topic

. You're jumping the gun a bit. If you care to elaborate on why it is in your opinion "a great idea to buy" that would be great. Please share your expertice and experience with us rather than just a link and a statement. Thanks.

Here is a review on the SX100 IS. I bought this camera 2 weeks ago and so far really like it.

Any Cannon is nice IMO. My wife bought a Olympus, what a pain in the ass! The operation menu sucks big time!

I have a HP at the office, menu is friendly like the Cannon!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I appreciate the link. I ended up with the Sony T200 and so far it is one nice camera.
