If budget is allowed, u can try to google for Panasonic Lumix DMC-LX3. Very high quallity image and built. Leica lenses, f2.0 24mm wide, very good for low light shooting, such as dim area like western restaurant without using flash. If this is not your favour, i would advice you to go for canon, why? I have been used for Olympus, Sony, Canon, Minolta. For Compact Camera wise, canon power shot really work. You just point and shot, let the computer inside work out the image for you. Sony is very nice and trendy, but feeling that the machine a little bit sluggish. The other two no need to explain coz not in your purchasing bracket.

Furthermore, it is very cheap to get high capacity media card comparing to sony memory stick, where there are only a few players around the market.
