I want to replace a Casio QV-R51camera and would like advice. The
features I am looking for are:

Use SD memory (I have 2.5 GB)
AA batteries (absolute must)
3 or more optical zoom
5 or more mega pixel
must have image stabilization (which do you recommend?)
fairly small (must fit in man's shirt pocket)
small shutter lag
hopefully good battery life
fast flash recharge (problem with my Casio)

All suggestions appreciated.
Thanks

I recently got a Panasonic DMC-LZ3, with 5 MP, 6X zoom, and image stabilization. It is a little big to fit comfortably in a shirt pocket: 3.75 X 2.5 X 1.75". It fits your specs otherwise.
