Replacement for Fuji Exilim S100

My daughter managed to plug the 9v charger from her portable DVD player into
the docking station of her s100. Battery is toast, as is the docking
station. The camera reports 'Lens error' when another good battery is
inserted. Insurance company are asking me for a preferred replacement as the
S100 is no longer available in UK. Recommendations anyone for another P&S.
SD media is a prerequisite given that we already have a supply and a large
screen is desirable.

Thanks

Do you mean /Casio/ Exilim EX-S100?

Casio Exilim EX-S100

3.2 million effective pixels
3.3 million sensor photo detectors
36 mm - 102 mm (2.8x) zoom lens
Announced 25-Aug-04

(From http://www.dpreview.com/reviews/specs/Casio/).

Last May, one reviewer there mentioned that it cost about $250 (presumably
US). All 9 reviewers seemed to think that the small slim case was an
important feature.

Try putting features that matter to you (or your daughter) in the 'Buying
Guide' at that site.

This is the official Casio UK web site http://www.casio.co.uk/; click on
'Products' and then 'Digital Cameras' to see the current offerings from
them.
