I might be asking for the impossible

I've loved my powershot a1100is, first blinked out the 1.00c firmware back in 2009. It's getting older and I'm looking for something very like it.

Is there a Canon camera with the specs I want? (I'll probably port CHDK to it if it's not already supported)

2xAA batteries
14MP
1280x720 30fps
4x optical zoom
pocket-sized

I've spent a few hours now googling and hitting buttons on amazon and I can't seem to find one. There are lots that come close -- typically they do 25fps video and have a lithium battery.

I guess I should admit to myself that it doesn't exist?

Don't think it does exist.

These fit all of your requirements (maybe other than size.. that's subjective!) but all seem to be 25fps.

Wow, I noticed dpreview.com mentioned a few times but I should have looked closer. That camera feature search is exactly what I needed.

The SX160 IS might even do 30fps.

Thanks
