looking for digital cameras

[gusl]

A couple of weeks ago, my Canon camera has been dead with a "lens error", probably due to dust in the lens (it had a dark spot that shifted once in a while). It's my second Canon to suffer this fate.

I'm a fan of these simple Canon cameras. My biggest complaint is that when shooting video, they produce huge AVIs (~100MB / minute), which I later need to compress myself.

Any ideas?
