~350UKP Digital Compactish recomendation

Hi All,

I have spent the last 3 yrs with a Canon A40 (2.0MP 3xOpticalZoom 128MB
card) and its time for a change.
The canon has been excellent and produces good images.
Mostly used in auto mode to take pictures of cars !!

So Im looking for recommendations for a better unit.

I have narrowed it down to something like
Olympus C70 7.1MP 5x op zoom
Casio EXP700 7.1MP 4x op zoom
Both get good reviews.

Any thoughts +/- for both???

So far I have

Olympus (xD card format a disadvantage? USB2.0 )
Casio (USB connector breakages on P600 , will P700 have same problem?
QualityOK? USB1.1 only
Canon lens good)

I will only ever be saving in JPEG format so both are fine.

I would like to stay with Canon but I dont really see anything in their
lineup that matches the spec of the two Ive seen.

Many thanks
