As im heading off to the USA next week I will make use of the exchange rate and pick up a new camera over there, are these any good? or any similar suggestions?
want something smallish (not DSLR) and good quality.
Canon PowerShot S80
Panasonic Lumix DMC-FX01
Casio Exilim EX-Z850
Sony Cyber-shot DSC-T30
Im replacing a broken fuji f810
Would prefer something with rechargable battery.

No Cybershot T30, only T33

Canon and Panasonic both get 4.5 stars, and both 28mm at the short end which is wider angle than the other two, meaning you don't need to be as far away from stuff to get pics. Useful at busy car shows.
Canon has AI focus, means it will refocus if stuff moves.
Canon is heaviest though. Personally I would go with that just because I know they're easy to work and the support is good. I would have no idea how far you have to drive to get a Casio camera repaired.
