I'm in need of a new camera. My current one works, but only if I'm careful with it. The on/off switch is part of the trigger and it has all popped off. It still takes pictures, but only when I hold it in place gently. It has done the job fairly well for the last 5 years or so. I haven't been thrilled with it, though. A spring in the battery chamber has caused the battery door to randomly fly open and dump out the battery -- usually only when I have a very important shot to capture.
I'm hesitant to buy a new camera without a glowing recommendation (or 6). Here are my needs: compact digital, at least 10 megapixels, a large preview screen, and a secure battery chamber. I don't care about fun colors, but it would be nice to have something flat enough to stick in my pocket.
Okay, wow me with your suggestions!

For what it's worth, I've been really pleased with my Sony Cybershot. I've had it a couple of years I guess. Essentially a point and shoot and I only have 8.1 megapixels, but there is a 10.1 model. Excellent large display, and even with my complete lack of skills I can make a decent picture.
Laura-I found your blog through your mom. I think I have the same camera that Amber above has and we have been very pleased with it. We had another Sony camera before this one too and liked it very much. I have the 5.0 megapixels and the 8.1 megapixels models. The 8.1 version is slim enough to carry around in my pocket.
