Actually my requirements are less demanding than most. I'd be happy with an *istDS-type camera with SR and 10 megapixels. I suspect something like this might not be too far off.
By the way, did anyone respond about the location of the "Disable shutter without memory card" in the Custom Functions? I can't find the setting in the custom menu either but I just tested my DS and it doesn't release the shutter when there is no card present. I don't remember having to set this feature.
