I wanted something that's cheap, small, light, uses AA batteries, fast (in terms of AF and write times), wide (28mm preferred) and takes good pics.

The list price is $599 according to the papers, and could starup within 1.8s and take a pic within 0.14s (time from shutter depressed till pic taken).
It doesn't have aperture/shutter priority mode (not really a big problem) but supports up to 8s shutter speed.
I have SD card (with my Palm) and lots of rechargeable AA batteries, so no problems with accessories
