For an ultra-compact with a wide angle lens, look at the Sony Cyber-shot

wide-angle lens, optical viewfinder, and image-stabilization. Alas, it's
$225 (US).


One issue with Sony: all their cameras are using the proprietary Memory
Stick


False. The DSLR's all use CF. Some support both CF and MStick.

I have no issue against MStick except that I can get faster xfer speed
CF's and at a lower price / GB.

I really wish the a900 had a Firewire 800 (or even 400) instead of USB
2.0 however.
