Your budget maybe can get the powershot 5 series.

IS is Image Stabilisation which can eliminate minor handshakes while taking pics.
Optical zoom is the amount of zoom it has. Usual for compacts are 3X zoom which means can zoom in up to 3 times it's standard focus distant. The more zoom it has, of cos you can bring further objects closer.

Don't buy any DSLRs or SLRs as u're totally new to it and may not be able to handle too. What's more, your budget can never fetch u a DSLR.
