So fall of 2002 I anticipated purchasing a digicam. That never happened. I don't have a film camera right now either. I just would like something that could take decent pics for memories++.

When someone mentioned that OM was selling the A70 and a 128MB CF for $250 + tax in a few weeks, it sparked my interest in digicams again.

So, with the budget being $250 (I would prefer $200), recommend me a digicam and please justify your recommendation.

Here is what I'm looking for:

[*]compact (doesn't need to be DImage small, but it needs to fit in my pocket to carry around)
[*]reasonable resolution, 2-3MP
[*]around a 3x optical zoom
[*]and of course, good battery life, image quality, all the usual stuff
