I have two Canon DSLRs, a 10D and a 30D, and not intending to upgrade anytime soon, but I also use Canon A95 because its discreet and portable. But I want something to replace it. I've got my eye on the Canon A590IS. But I wondered if there's any others out there to be recommended for £100-£200.

Not so fussed about megapixels, anything over 5 is OK, but it needs to have:
a good optical zoom
long battery life
SD and SDHC card compatibilty – a must as one of the main reasons I am replacing the A95 is to use my Eye-Fi card
manual, aperture priority and Program
low shutter lag, fast focus
good picture quality

Cheers
 
Do you actually need to change your A95 ?, if you do id be tempted to go for one of the older G series cameras but they will probably use CF cards but you could just buy a CF card adapter and still use your Eye-Fi card but then you could do that with your A95 anyway and if you bought an adapter you could also use the Eye-Fi in your 10D.

It's starting to get a little rough round the edges, and I have a CF adapter, but it won't fit in the A95 as it's full height, the A95 onloy takes MkII CF card profiles, and it doesn't work with the 10D and 30D due to some incompatibility with the SDHC format. so an SD compact is my only option, or 1D :D
