Digital Camera

I might be able to shake loose some money and upgrade from my Canon Powershot 3.2 megapixel to something with more zoom and image stablization.

My one beef is that when I turn off my flash, I get blurry results. Some cameras have a 'best shot' feature where the camera automatically shoots multiple images and selects the best.

I am looking at image stablization, 8 megapixels, and a 7x or greater zoom.

At http://www.dpreview.com/, the finalists are the Minolta A2, the Minolta A200, and the Nikon 8800.

The A200 got slightly better reviews than the A2 at DPREVIEW, but CNET gave the A2 the edge.

I don't want a true SLR, but I do want the best resolution and a better zoom.

If I decide to do without the image stabilization, I could go with the Canon Powershot Pro, which would turn out to be more expensive than the Minoltas but would have the 'best shot' feature.

Does anyone own any of these cameras? Any opinions? I would like this to be the last digital camera I own for the next 10 years.
