[cdt-l] Digital camera ideas?

[Paul Magnanti]

My digital camera has croaked. A shame, the only thing wrong with it is
the button. No parts are available as the camera is discontinued. My
local camera shop was told by Olympus it would cost ~$150 to fix. :O

Looking at prices, I can find newer cameras in the price range.



So I am now in the market for a camera. I am looking for a point and shoot camera. Preferably with the following criteria:



-I have many xD cards, so Olympus or Fujitsu is preferred

-Runs on AA batteries 

-The last one is a toughy: I prefer an optical viewfinder as it is how I take pictures AND it saves battery life



Any suggestions? Price range no more than $200-$250



Many thanks fellow hikers!
