rec.photo.digital News Archive: Small point & shoot - $600 budget?

I'm looking to buy my g/f a digital camera; however I've not really kept up
with what's new on the market since buying my PowerShot 400 nearly 2 years
ago.

She's used my 400 on a number of occasions and has always complained that
the response time of the camera is too slow. I suspect that she's not
referring to the auto focus, but rather the navigation when browsing and
reviewing pictures on the camera.

I advised her to go to a camera shop and play with different cameras models
to get a feel of how they operate. She came back she said that she liked the
Pentax Optio S4 - any opinions on this camera?

What other small point and shoot cameras should we look at? Budget $600.

TIA
