Not for me, but a young friend wanting to have something for the field capable of taking decent herp shots. He does not know an f-stop from ISO, so please don't suggest he go the DSLR route
I don't keep up with reviews on P&S cameras, so really have no idea what the best options are. Recommendations appreciated. Thanks.

Hi Robert, I recently purchased a Cannon S110 and I'm pretty happy with it
This is the only herp shot I've taken with it so far.

i've used a couple in the canon G series. G9,12,15, and they are great. the g15 is the newest one. super close focusing
Re: Recommendations for a field-worthy point-and-shoot?
The Panasonic Lumix series are very good cameras, with some having the capability of the equivalent of a 400mm lens. I would also throw out the rugged type of P&S camera's. I have an Olympus Stylus tough series. These are waterproof, shock proof, freeze proof, crush proof etc. Their is a Canon counterpart that friends have and like really well. These cameras lack the zoom, but have of course other features.
