I'm fond of my Panasonic Lumix DMC ZS7, altho it takes a dedicated battery. I bought another and it stays in the charger. If you go on a trip, take a fully charged battery.

I picked up a BIG SDXC card too, cost almost as much as the camera. HOWEVER, that card can't be read with a Mac Leopard, but works fine with Snow Leopard, I upgraded my laptop, so both computers can read the pics and videos.

Has GPS, I think I used it once, but I don't travel.

Has an automatic macro setting.
