Kodak V550 vs Casio Z750 vs Casio EX -S500

[HB2000]

Have been reading the boards and I think I've narrowed it down to these three.

I want the wife to be able to use this camera so basic P&S, good scenes selection, easy menu navigation are important.

They all have features in common I like: Small / 3X zoom / Mpeg 4 video

Reading on the Casio website I notice that the S500 has an "Antishake system" and "Flash Assist" two features that I would like to have but will the antishake lower picture quality???

I guess it comes down to image quality. I know that two of the cameras are 5M and the Z750 is 7M but I don't normally go above 8X10 prints.

Which camera is considered to put out the best quality image? Truest colour? Best in Low light conditions?

Just for their point and shoot capabilities which would you recommend???

Thanks

Sorry that this isn't very helpful but that's a tough decision ! I think image quality wise, the Z750 is the "best" - the only thing that is preventing me from buying it myself is the dreaded lens error. Unlike the Canon E18 lens error, this one seems to be a mechanical flaw in their design? Basically, if the lens extends accidently (e.g. in a camera case) and can't extend fully, then the camera seems to break. I'm not sure how common this is though....
