1. Canon PowerShot A570 IS: The PowerShot A570 offers more bang for the buck than virtually any entry-level camera on the market. It features a 7 Megapixel CCD, 4X optical zoom lens, optical image stabilization, 2.5" LCD display, full manual controls, conversion lens support, and more. The biggest downside is the relatively low LCD resolution. Otherwise, this digital camera is a great choice.

2. Canon PowerShot SD850 IS Digital ELPH: The SD850 is one of the best ultra-compact cameras on the market. It features an 8 Megapixel CCD, a 4X zoom lens, optical image stabilization, and a very nice 2.5" LCD display. Like all Digital ELPHs, the SD850 is point-and-shoot, with very limited manual controls. The camera has a high quality VGA movie mode, plus a redeye removal tool that actually works. If you'll be taking a lot of interior shots, then you may want the wide-angle PowerShot SD870 IS instead. It has a larger 3-inch LCD as well, though the image quality with this digital camera isn't as good as on the SD850.

3. Panasonic Lumix DMC-FZ8: The Panasonic Lumix DMC-FZ8 is one of the best ultra zoom cameras on the market. It certainly doesn't skimp on features: you get a 12X Leica lens with optical image stabilization, full manual controls, widescreen movie recording, snappy performance, and conversion lens support. Not a bad digital camera for under $300.

4. Panasonic Lumix DMC-TZ3: The DMC-TZ3 may look like an ordinary compact camera, but it packs a whollop. It has a 10X, 28 - 280 mm zoom lens, optical image stabilization, and an enormous 3-inch LCD. It doesn't have any manual controls, but there are plenty of scene modes to choose from. Photo quality is decent, though noise reduction is heavy at higher ISOs. Overall though, it's a fun to use digital camera that lets you take any kind of photo, whether wide-angle or super telephoto.

5. Sony Cyber-shot DSC-W55: While not much of an upgrade over its predecessor, the Sony Cyber-shot DSC-W55 remains a good choice in the compact camera field. It offers a 3X optical zoom lens, a 2.5" LCD display, point-and-shoot operation, and great photo quality. This digital camera comes in a compact, stylish metal body, available in four colors.
