In the US$300-600 price category, people currently drool over the
following cameras:

Panasonic LX1
Panasonic FX01
Panasonic TZ1
Canon A700
Canon SD700 IS
Canon S3 IS
FujiFilm F11/F30
Ricoh GR

There are exciting cameras of other brands, although personally I was
not interested in them. My initial choice was over Pana LX1, Fuji F11
and Canon A700. Finally, I chose Pana LX1 and I believe I did the right
choice.

Go to dpreview and check the features of the cameras, quality of
images, and read the users' comments.
