I just purchased a Canon Power Shot SX10 IS. It is hardly a pocket camera, but the added size is a fair trade-off given the features: 10 mega pixels, Image Stabilizer and a 20X wide zoom lens w/ super macro capability (you can actually get so close to your subject, that you can touch the lens to it). Great close-ups! Operates manually or full auto. A little over $300.
