Do you care for manual controls?

--Nope, just standard.
Will you be shooting a lot of indoor photos or low light photos?
--Both Indoor and low light.
Will you be shooting sports and/or action photos?
--Not so often, but having that option will be nice.
Miscellaneous
Are there particular brands you like or hate?
--I personally loved using my Casio Exilim EX-Z750; however, it was stolen from me.
Are there particular models you already have in mind?
--If possible, I would like a camera similar to the Casio Exilim Ex-Z750 without it's flaws!
(If applicable) Do you need any of the following special features? (Wide Angle, Image Stabilization, Weatherproof, Hotshoe, Rotating LCD)
--Image stabilization would be nice since I do not have steady hands, but it's not needed. Great battery life is a must! I prefer having an LCD screen atleast 2.5". View Finder would be nice, but not needed.
