OK, my two cents. I love my Olympus, but it is big, and bulky - though it takes GREAT pictures. I recently decided that I needed a "travel" camera. Something that was water-resistant, good pixel quality, completely digital, could take stills or movies, and wasn't too expensive. After much research, I bought the Sanyo xacti ca6. I absolutely love it. I bought two batteries for it, since they are proprietary, and took shots all day long on our vacation. I never ran out of battery life. It went hiking, took pictures from under waterfalls and in the rain. I fried my first Olympus taking pictures at Niagara falls, so the water-resistance issue is a big deal to me. (they have a waterproof model too for those that are in to water sports).
I would buy it again in a heartbeat. I can't say enough good about it.
Here is a link to some of the pics we took on vacation with it:
