New Sony point and click digital camera

Hi folks, My old Sony dscp92 has given up the ghost and it's time for a new one. The problem is all my cards are memory stick or memory stick duo so it will have to be another sony, which is fine because this one has had some hard knocks in her time and still been class.

So in short which Sony is the best for about £300 ? Digital zoom is not important as I never use it, a fairly high optical zoom would be nice and some sort of image stabaliser would come in handy. Any help would be great, cheers.

How about the Sony DSC-H5?

12x Optical Zoom (stabilised)

7.2 megapixels

and a Carl Zeiss lens.

cheers for that stevegreen I didn't realise that I could afford the H5 but having shopped around a bit now on the global hyper interweb it does just fall in my price range, cheers for your help. Youv'e made my mind up.
