My ten cents: If you're getting yourself a D-SLR, then having all the adjustable features in a "secondary" pocket camera is much less important. (Because, if it really mattered to you, you'd go get your "real" camera.)

Meanwhile, my wife has been grumbling that our Fuji F50fd has been doing a terrible job. Despite having a fantastic lens and Fuji SuperCCD sensor, it's just not very bright about deciding where to autofocus and what exposure to select. To replace it, I'm considering several of the Panasonic Lumix models (also sold as Leica cameras, but for more money). The new FX500 (shipping any day now) has a 25-125mm (equiv) zoom and weighs 5.5 ounces. The new FX35 has a 25-100mm (equiv) zoom and weighs 4.5 ounces. Both have a 720p video mode. The bigger one also has the aperture/shutter priority features that you want. I'm attracted by the high-def video mode and by the wider-than-normal wide angle.
