Max:
Thanks. We actually settled on a Canon PowerShot SX40 which is a camera body with 40x optical zoom, but it shoots good video and has variable slow motion settings on playback.  The main thing we were looking for was the viewfinder (mini LCD, but visible) but were surprised to find that we can see the LCD in the sunlight as well.
Autofocus and Image stabilization work well, but we tend to use the 40x zoom too much and at distance it's hard to hold the camera steady.
The downside is that it's not a pocket camera, so CamelBak instead.
