I need recommendations for a small travel camera...
I am willing to spend around 200.00 for a good little digital camera.
I am concerned about size, battery life and internal storage.
Can anyone recommend one?
Thanks, as always.

Canon's PowerShot series of cameras produces great quality photos for the pricepoint you've targeted. We've owned two at our company and they're still clicking after 2 and 3 years each. 310 and 410 models.
Thicker than a deck of cards, but not by much. Rechargeable battery that slides into a rectangular charger that plugs straight into the socket w/o a cord.
Storage is Compact Flash format, although some of the newer models have SD format.

I asked a very similar question a number of weeks ago and got lots of helpful information:

Ended up with a nice little Canon, upgraded memory and rechargeable batteries for under $200.
This forum is a great resource!

Love our new Casio EX-Z40. Very small, great battery life, 2 inch viewer, easily added a 256mb card for plenty of memory. Paid around $230 from Butterflyphoto.com, but I think they're sold out now - they might have the 5 mpixle version for a little more. There's also a 3 mpixle version for a little less.

I love my Pentax S5i. It's so small it fits in an Altoids can! Takes great photos, video too. It's more than $200 though, especially if you get a large memory card (I got 1 Gb). There may be older models that are less.
