Default Recommend a good P&S digicam?

What's a good point and shoot digicam to get? For newbies to snap photos of people etc., doesn't need to be too sophisticated but which produces pretty good-looking photos.

Hey I was just about to ask the same question! Should it have high optical zoom (more than 3x), short shutter lag or twistable LCD to enable shooting at waist level?

Default P&S Digital

THe Canon G2 is ideal, gives good size images (11mb) from a 4mp chip, fast lens (f2.0-2.5) 3x Optical zoom.

What about something with 8x or 10x optical zoom like C720UZ or C2100UZ?

The G2's good but a bit too expensive and full-featured... I'm thinking more in the range of the A40-- stuff for people used to snapping photos with compact cameras.
