I'm looking for a small digital camera. I don't need huge amounts of pixels (2-3 megapixels will do just fine), but I do want something with a nice lens, easy to use, quick shutter release (digital cameras tend to suck in that area, shooting a picture upto a full second after you've clicked the button) and solid construction (most digital cameras are made of cheap plastic).

Any recommendations?

I used to own an analog Minox and I loved it (Minox's are real photographers' cameras), until it got bogged down with sand inside (beach!) and broke. So naturally, I'm looking at the digital minox. Anyone used them? How do they compare with the originals?

The Canon Powershot S200 also gets good reviews, and has a stainless steel body, which should mean it's not too flimsy.
