Great options, not so great flaws

Having a D70, we were looking for something smaller/more portable with P/M/A/S and good optical zoom. Thought we found it here. Close, but no cigar. Perhaps the D70 spoiled us, but the long shutter recovery time lost me some irreplaceable shots and the lens motor was so loud it overpowered the sound on the video I shot.
Nice features? Plenty: Programeable modes, beautiful zoom with image stabilization, great pre-programmed scene settings
Cons? Plenty: Loud lens motor, HORRIBLE resolution on LCD (hard to know if you got the shot!) recovery time between shots, Auto setting not very reliable (use P) pathetic battery life (bought my mom a dx7490, virtually identical except for image stabilization, she has excellent battery life)
