This is not for personal use but to recommend to a friend (DSLR > P&S)
Budget is as in title.
So far I have three decent recommendations, but I don't keep up with compact/ultra-compact so I need a few of those as well so he can make a decision.
Fuji FinePix S700

Fuji FinePix S8100fd

Panasonic DMC-FZ18K

I'm thinking anything beyond the S700 might be too bulky to carry around easily/too advanced. But then compact/ultra-compacts are not as durable or as well-featured.
He did mention he wanted good zoom capability, and I think the 10x of the S700 would be decent (granted it is 28mm)
