Someone posted great pics of NZ taken with Nikon Coolpix P3. The P4 costs $550.
8.1 MP camera with VR. Still got $100 left for lots of SD cards.

Fuji F30! ... I have the F11, recommended the F30 to a couple of friends. So far, they have only good things to say It is suitable for casual to intermediate shooters ...

Only qualms are: 1) uses xD card, 2) no IS/VR, 3) NOT wide enough

fx01... noise is alittle unbearable for me but still pretty good compact that's easy enough for idiot proof use.

otherwise ixus is my personal fav.
