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.

ah, but cameras are indeed a necessity. i've been happily surprised at how long the canon i've got goes with one battery charge. and the image stabilization is wonderful.
