I'm on the market for a new digital camera.  Anyone have recommendations in the $400 range?  I'm mostly concerned about image quality, optical zoom, and battery life.  All the other little gadgets are optional.

Ok these pictures where taken about a month or two ago at Universal Studios in Hollywood.

These first 2 pictures were taken with little to no zoom.
Note the arrows pointing to the Warner Bros. Studio in the background.
Universal Backlot - No Zoom
Universal Backlot - about 3-5x Zoom

This next one is full 10x Optical Zoom of the WB Studios Tower.
Warner Bros. Water Tower

These next set of shots were taken from the Waterworld Action Stunt Show at Universal Studios, and really shows off the cameras potential for taking action shots as well as zoom shots.

All pictures were taken from the exact same seated location.
Picture of the Set, note the arrows which corrospond to zoomed locations
Grand Finale with all sorts of shit blowing up.  Not zoomed or just slightly zoomed for framing.
Guy on tower.  Zoomed
Guy firing machine gun.
Guy on Fire falling from top platform

If I had to pick one thing I didn't like about this camera, it'd have to be the fact that it uses SmartMedia Cards, instead of Compaq Flash.  And the main reason that bugs me is because I already had 3 128 Meg Flash sticks from previous cameras I've owned.  :(
