I am in need of replacing a Canon S60 that is dying. I have a few of requirements:

1. must have wide angle, i.e. 28mm equiv or better.
2. must have viewfinder
3. must use sd card (so no Sonys!)
4. must be under $300

I am willing to purchase new or closeout models. MP are not really that important, no prints larger than 4x6 anyway.

I used the "features search" feature on dpreview.com:

I haven't shopped P&S cameras for a long time, but I'm amazed by how much the optical viewfinder requirement limits the choices available.

I did find the Nikon Coolpix P50, which fits all your criteria and is pretty inexpensive:

Good luck!

I did not realize dpreview had that search function. Thanks alot. And yes, the viewfinder is what I was having trouble with, but the guy in the office who will be using the camera, uses the viewfinder. Go figure.
