Dont buy canon, its cheap, but now it has been taken over by Kodak. Sony has few service centers and if anything goes wrong you would be in trouble. I am using a Kodak pocket cam with Lithium-Ion battery and 6mp resoultion. It would cost you around 12000 and has the best perfomance with tonnes of features. Also its size is only half of a CD-ROM.
