I can thoroughly recommend the Olympus D500L, which I got from a fellow MUG member for C$200. Before that, I had a Kodak DC20, which was pretty marginal. The Oly is .8 megapixels, which I find quite adequate, and haven't even tried the HQ setting. I need a larger memory card for it before I do that, though.
