Camera opinions sought

I know this has been covered before, but the posts I found were a bit old and they keep coming out with new cameras....

My trusty Olympus Stylus 410 has died and I am looking to replace it with something else that I can keep in my pocket, whip out at restaurants, take on exotic trips, photograph food, friends and gargolyes and generally use as an all purpose camera.

What would you recommend and why?


I've been flirting with a Canon Power Shot SD 800 or 850 with image stablization

OR the Pansonic Lumix DMC-TZ3 with a monster 10x zoom

or the new Sony cybershot dst100, but I'm open to other suggestions.



If you have any experience with these cameras I'd love to hear about it. If there is another camera you'd swear by that fits my needs and pocket, I'd love to know about it.



Thanks
