Good choice? comparable camera from different manufacturer? I'm not interested in stepping up to a SLR yet. I'm kind of preferential to Sony.

Read the customer reviews on that best buy link....
Easily the most inexpensive way to get slow motion in a HD camera.
Also, it is cheap enough that almost wouldn't feel bad if it got wet and you had to toss it.
Looks like you shouldn't pay any more than about $320 for one.
The one data point I have been hunting for that I cannot find (yet) is the camera's functional dynamic range - you know are the blacks black and the whites white? Unfortunately, that info is not available yet. The photos in the last link look OK, for a compact camera.
Like I said I want one and I hate Sony.
