This may be blasphemy on a Pentax discussion list, but I have an older Fuji (FinePix 2650) point and shoot digital, and I'd suggest ya take a look at what they currently offer. I don't know what the fstop range of it is, but it's got a 3x zoom (probably 35ish-105ish), and all the features you mentioned except the video output... I believe newer ones have this.
I think you could find something that meets your requirements for $100-$150. The only thing I dislike about Fuji is their use of xD picture cards... they're a bit more expensive than other formats. I haven't bought one yet, I still haven't used the digital enough at once to exceed the 16mb card it came with. __________________________________________________ Do You Yahoo!? Tired of spam? Yahoo!
