I'm leaving on a trip soon & I want a good quality camera. I'd like one in the $100-$200 range. It needs to run on batteries like AA ones. Not too ugly and bulky hopefully. And I'd really love one that takes good movies too. Like one of those handheld cameras that has a flip screen and looks more like a camcorder. Suggestions?
