It looks ok to me, but I don't know enough about them. Also look at optical zoom. The higher the better for little fish.

The last camera my Dad (person who know photography) bought was a little Panasonic. He got it because it has a Leica lens and fits in his pocket. It also has relatively little lag.

Lag times don't seem to be posted anywhere, but the longer the lag, the more likely the fish is out of frame. Lag is the only real drawback of digital cameras, IMO. Go to the stores and check out the lag times for yourself.

Save room in your budget for a fast memory card.
