Have loved my S9900 for six years and a failure in it had me looking for a new one. Found out they have discontinued the S9900 and am trying to find out what the next camera is that has equivalent performance. It appears it would be the A1000 but that is 200 dollars more than the S9900 was. All suggestions appreciated.
I travel in the back country of Washington, Idaho, and Montana frequently and need a small form factor that is rugged and capable of good photos. I tried the Lumix ZS90 but it had very poor low light performance, and lacked a lot of simple features like quick exposure adjustment that the S9900 has.
