Sorry, I should have said to pick a camera that used AA size rechargable power sources. This way if you ever need back-up power, you can use everyday ordinary AA batteries, which are readily available just about anywhere. Let your propriatery power source go south, and you are done.
I have been happy with the 5x optical zoom on my Olympus fe 320, one other positive is it takes AA batteries, the downside is Olympus seems to have a proprietary memory card so all the SD cards I have floating around the house from the previous camera are next to useless now.
