I have used an S50 which is similar to the S60 and it is a great
camera. RAW conversion is now more usable since photoshop elements 3 will support it. Having thought about storage I wonder if its easier to purchase a number of 256 cards. Amazon had them for $12 after the rebates.

Seeking advice on the practicality of carrying a compact digital camera on long-distance self-contained bike tours. I am particularly interested in the problem of battery recharge time. Does anyone ride with a recharger, or replacement batteries? How many shots do you get with a 2-3 megapixel camera without having to recharge or replace? The camera store says about 100 but Consumer Reports says 300-500 depending on the camera. I'm looking at the Nikon Coolpix 2200, Cannon Powershot A60, Kodak Easy Share CX7430 or Olympus D-580 zoom. Up until now, I've carried a lightweight point and shoot. If you minimize use of the LCD, battery life won't be a problem. I can go for weeks without recharging my old Kodak DC4800 if I'm careful about this, but if I leave it turned on the batteries last only 20 minutes. The trouble is, most people have the camera set so it's always on. Unfortunately, some cameras are too fiddly to turn it off easily, or don't even have an optical viewfinder to use instead.
