Hi

I am about to purchase a digital camera and seek advice.
Currently I have a Canon Eos with zoom (35mm).

Specific requirements would be:
- sharp photographs
- varied zoom options
- lense shutter that closes (semi weather proof)
- compact & light for travel purposes
- high resolution (5, 6 pixel)
- user friendly
- Powerful flash (as my canon eos has major flash problems)

AIM
I wish to be able to use pics for 'Windows Movie Maker' adding audio, to 
create slideshows.

Pls excuse my non-technical description.

Advice sought on digital camera's (brands) available tried and tested would 
be EXCELLENT.

Bj
