My advice may be uncommon but I selected Panasonic DMC-F3 and Olympus VG110

Reason is that Sony, Nikon and canon require AA pencil cells in there cams which is not a good idea...

Nikon use AA Ni-MH rechargeable battery. I am using it. And I should say it is very much convenient. Sometimes when you run out of charge, you can at least use normal AA size batteries and click some photos.

Once during a jungle trip this happened to me. I managed to find few Eveready AA batteries at a pan-shop in a village and clicked some photos. And when you are back home, you can recharge your Ni-MH batteries.

Most cameras will have offer where they provide free rechargeable batteries and charger. Look out for those.

UNIROSS .... I got UNIROSS with my camera so I didn't have to buy extra. UNIROSS is great.
