Lots of Optical Zoom (at least 10x?)
HD Recording (preferably with 24p but i dont think there are any)
Big Screen (3" is good)
Takes the best pictures for its size
Good in Low Light (dsctx1h? from sony)


would like but not important:

Panoramic pictures feature
Underwater ability


Price isn't a concern, is there anything that has all of that? from what i've done in researching it seems like for all the features id like they're spread out over a bunch of different cameras :/
Check out the Fuji F200 EXR or Panasonic LX3. If you're willing to wait, then the new Canon S90 looks promising, but it won't be on store shelves until mid-September.

Why do you need 12MP+? 10MP is more than enough for anyone, and with small P&S cameras, you will get worse image quality because the photosites on the sensor are too small.
