After tring out a few, and there's LOTS to choose from, I went with a Kodak Z1285, with 12mp and a 5X Optical zoom.
I'll work with it for the w/end, and see if it does what I want it to do.
The price was good, at $176 plus card & taxes, and it's small enough to fit in the pocket.
I may still trade in for the Fuji unit though.
Cheers
