cheap is relative but the price/performance ratio has been radically 
improving.   battery life and size are likely to be trade-offs.  about 
30% of the volume of the little guys seems to be battery.  most of them 
come with small memory cards, you'll probably want to get a bigger one. 
 the good news is that the 2MP models don't fill them up so quickly.

i've really liked my canon s45.  it stakes out a pretty good middle 
ground between capable and pocket size.  the little Elph's are nice. you 
might take a look at the s200.  they've just added 3MP and 4MP models, 
so the 200 ought to be dropping in price.
