Very good pictures and movies - suggestions.

[THX1138]

I have quick question. I am looking for camera with very good "movie mode".

Lately I am reading a lot and everyday I am more confused.

I'd like to ask you (especially owners) what camera you have and are you happy with movies that you made?

I am planning to take trip in next couple of weeks and I am a little bit tired of having bags all over me (digital camera, digital camcorder, and snacks for kids).

I like idea of divx movies (I saw some clips quality is very good) because I can store many minutes on memory card.

Very important: very good quality of movie and pictures.

Important: battery life; price 400$.

Preferable compact size.

I appreciated any suggestion
