I have no idea of what to look for, but I'm looking for a digital camera. Some things that I need/want.

1. Anti-shake
2. larger than 1600x1200 resolution (
3. Anti-red eye. (I already have one that does the strobe first and then takes the pic, but I thought there were cameras that didn't do that, but still removed red eye.
4. Decent sized LCD preview screen.
5.Not too bulky.

Is $200 to $300 enough for a digital camera? I really have no idea. Any recommendations would be appreciated. Right now I have no idea where exactly to start.

Thanks.
 
I was interested in both the SD1000 and the SD750 until I found out neither have image stabilization. :(
 
I've been mulling over which of these cameras to get: http://www.pricegrabber.com/search_...643/masterids[]=26198642/masterids[]=33724726

Any suggestions or recommendations? If somebody owns one or some of these I'd love to hear some feedback on them. Seems like nomatter what I look at, it either has Image Stabilization but lacks face detection or visa versa, or has high MP but lacks something else.

Any ideas? Is there another brand that you think is better than these Canons? I'm looking for something small (like these Canons) and that will take nice pictures that I wont be disappointed with in 4 - 15 years wishing I had taken pictures with a nicer camera.

If it can't fit into my pocket, then I won't even consider it. I'm looking for something I can whip out and snap something off. Do you even need image stabilization at 10 megapixels?

Do I really need an optical view finder? I've heard LCDs outside can get a glare, but is that the case, or if they have anti-glare it that going to take care of any real problem I might have seeing the screen while taking pictures outside?

I'm no professional and just want something that's going to make my pictures look good, but that I will still be happy with many years down the road without wishing I had a camera that had a better this or a better that.

Thanks for any points for this lost soul.
