I'm looking for an inexpensive digital camera and found the Sanyo VPC-S500.
It looks like it would meet my needs, e.g. five megapixels, optical
viewfinder, 3x optical zoom, and SD memory slot.  It uses AA batteries so I
figure I can get rechargeable AA.  Unfortunately, I can't try before I buy
(mail order) so I wanted to get opinions.  How is this camera for shutter
lag, auto-focusing, picture quality and battery life?  Also, I can't find
out the exact case size.  Does anyone know the measurements?  I checked the
Sanyo site and can't find a listing for it, but if anyone can point me to a
manual.pdf I'd be grateful.
