I mostly agree about memory card type. The "list of things I care
about to some extent" implies that I didn't expect to get everything
on the list. As for AA's though, that's a relatively firm
requirement. I don't want to mess around with buying batteries on
Ebay and I don't want to have to mess around with multiple chargers
for different devices. I'm trying to use AA's in as many of my
battery powered devices as possible, so if I go on a trip with them I
only have to bring one charger.

If you want high iso images from a compact Fuji is the way to go.

I've heard this before, so I should check into it. I've been a bit
put off by XD memory but as you say, it's cheap enough now to not
matter. Do you know if they have any AA-powered models?
