[Tech] A little Help please...Wife drives me crazy!

** Edit** This is a similar post but a little different.
I currently own a Canon EOS XSi with a decent lens, gear, etc. But my wife & I want to purchase a decent point & shoot we can bring on day trips, dinner, etc. It needs to be small enough to fit in a purse or belt case. We would also like it to be able to shoot VIDEO too. I'm hearing that the Panasonic Lumix is the way to go these days, however my wife wants a SMALL "pink or silver" camera she can put in her purse or a belt case. Can anyone suggest a camera as good as the Lumix that shoots video & is small enough to fit in a purse or small belt case? Please do not exceed $250.00.

Under $250 and "pink".
That should narrow down the list.

LOL, nice!

Although I dont think any of those are quite as good as the Lumix.

I got the Lumix TZ5 for my wife last summer. It comes in silver (and blue and black), but not pink. It does 720p video.

It's an older model, but works great. It's just over your budget at $259. Might be too big too?

Don't know enough about the Lumix to make a comparison but here is a page of pink cameras many of which are within your price range and do video as well.

This thing is brand new from Canon, the PowerShot SD1400IS.

It's Canon's best PowerShot, and it does 720p video all for $230!

PowerShot SD780 IS - comes in silver or red.

Tiny thing. My wife & kid love theirs. Get an 8gb card and turn her loose

Shoots 720p video too. Under $180 at amazon, so you have enough left in the budget for the card and a carry case...

Pink Saran wrap.

Weatherproofs the camera and makes all shots look rosy.
