During our trip we lost my sisters camera and now need to find a replacement :/ (and how to afford a replacement )

Are there any good pocket digital cameras that still have a view finder? The LCD eats batteries for snacks and when traveling its hard to recharge. Second requirement is that it uses SD memory cards as she already has a ton of them. 3rd is good optical zoom, the one we lost had a optical of 4x's zoom before it went digital.

I know my DSLR's but not much about the little lightweight point shot traveling cameras... Oh and as much manual options on the little camera is a big bonus... if anything except DSLR's still have manuals..
