I have a friend who has a Sony CyberShot, which offers a choice of either 
memory stick or Compact Flash. And ufraw converts the raw files. And this one 
has a bog standard mini USB socket, much to my pleasant surprise. It's not a 
tiny camera though - more the size of an SLR but it does have a 10:1 or so 
optical zoom, decent size lens.

But I prefer my own choice - the Fuji S9600. Takes CF or XD cards, 10:1 
optical zoom, 9 megapixels. And, amazingly, it has the three features I 
really, REALLY wanted - standard AA cells for power, a standard, mechanical 
cable release socket, and a standard flash sync socket, the tiny coaxial one. 
I think the sensor is a bit noisy compared to expensive models, but hey, at 
the price who can complain?
