Thanks for your advice, everyone. I agree with Robert Newman's (and others) remarks about megapixel numbers determining a purchase, and that the optical zoom was more important than the number of pixels in the sensor. I ended up getting a Canon Powershot A75. I probably would have got the Olympus C-760, except that it uses the xD-picture card, which is much dearer than CF, and less useful generally...
