Point and shoot. I had an older Pentax WP. I like the new Pentax because it is very similar to the one I had. No learning curve. Anyone have a Fuji xp? On sale at Target for $169.

Stay AWAY from that camera, i bought one and returned it.  It has a hard time auto focusing and would take blurry pictures 99% of the time

The Fuji's you can get at costco for cheap take pretty decent pics, but the functions are slow and that tends to be very annoying for me.  I say go with the Pentax after Jim/Rockfish was showing me his new one this weekend.  Tooks some great low light pics, and the macro focus was the best i've seen!  I have a W80 and love it, but when it finally dies on me, going to upgrade!

the fuji xp, it has a horrible auto focus and it would take forever to focus and even when it did it took horrible pix.
