Check out cnet.com They are a tech/gadget site that reviews all electronics. I have a Cannon that I like very much.

Canon SD series cameras are great, and for that kind of $ you can get the IS models... I think 950IS is the best in the lineup right now, and I've experience with the SD700IS -- amazing little camera. The image-stabilization is incredible!
Makes the tiny camera better than most others. Plus, I just love Canon's designs... very easy to use, simple to learn the controls etc.
