digital wonderland

i need to replace my digital camera before i go out of town because my sister broke mine. no really, i'm kidding. it was a mutual accident and technically it still takes pictures, but the shutter and everything that protects the lens has been broken off and i don't feel comfortable toting it around to use.

i've loved my little Pentax Optio S and want to stick with that brand because it takes great pictures, it's lightweight, sturdy(concrete steps notwithstanding) and uses a lithium-ion battery(a must for me). so i'm only looking at other Pentaxes to replace it.

here are my options:


Optio S6 6MP Digital Camera with 3x Optical Zoom


Optio A30 10MP Digital Camera with 3x Optical Zoom with Shake Reduction System


Optio T30 7.1MP Digital Camera with 3x Optical Zoom

[Poll #1001559]

i'm personally leaning toward the A30 because of all its shiny specs and of course it's the most expensive of the three. second favorite is the S6. it's the nearest to my current model.

are there any comparable cameras you can recommend that still use lithium-ion batteries?

3x zoom isn't great, but i've made it work for the most part. however, if i can get something that is comparable, has the li-ion battery AND has more than 3x digital zoom that would be awesome.
