Camera or not camera...that is the question

[gategrrl]

I've been browsing camera websites, researching, questing...I feel like a photographic Diogenes, trying to find the one honest camera that fits all my requirements. I think I found one, but...it's hard ... I want it, but it's not a necessity, and there's camp to think of, and this camera would eat batteries like a vampire drinks blood, and it would need a new SD chip of at *least* half a gig with extra speed on it.

Here it is: http://www.imaging-resource.com/PRODS/S2IS/S2ISA.HTM
Canon Powershot S2 IS: it's got a 12x telephoto optical lens, image stabilizer and tons of sweet, sweet features. It's not exactly a pocket camera, but it does do video with *stereo* sound.

*sighs*

My friend goodiesfan has that model, and loves it! You can see some of her nature shots on her LJ. I went with the Sony Cybershot DSC-H1 (http://imaging-resource.pricegrabber.com/search_getprod.php/masterid=7368629/search=Sony+Cybershot+DSC-H1), which has many similar features. I love it to bits.
