discontinued cameras are a no-go. I'm not going to buy anything without the option to return it if I'm not satisfied.

Yes and yes with regards to the wide angle and indoor shooting. Although, I'm not too concerned about the camera having real built-in wide angle capability, since the magnetic lenses are cheap and easy anyway.

The ricoh gx100 sounds like it would be perfect except the less than awesome reliability. I'm pissed my camera only lasted 3 years, and there are people on dpreview who have had to send theirs back twice in just a few months.

I'm actually considering getting a more basic p&s camera and investing in some clamp-on flood lamps to enhance the lighting... just clamp the light onto a door or a chair or something and point it at a wall to disperse the light.
