Any digital camera experts out there?

Are you looking for quality, size, or a combination?

I have always liked the Canon S100, because it isn't bulky and it takes above average photos.
 
I have a Sony CyberShot DSC-50 and it has been a heckuva good camera so far. You ought to be able to find once of the Cybershots in your price range. Check out Killerapp you can search all the makes and models and get user reveiws as well.

 
Ditto on the Canons... I've had an A5 Zoom for a few years and it's an awesome little camera.

You might checkout www.megapixel.net for reviews and such. Really informative tests and such for a load of cameras.

 
I have the Canon G1 and the pictures are great. Also see www.dpreview.com. The photos are on a par with 35mm cameras. Sony also has a great camera with the S85. I would definetly spend the extra couple of hundred more for a minimum 3.31 megapixel camera. The main drawback for the consumer level cameras right now is film speed. The higher film speeds will result in a higher level of noise. The canon G1 has the advantage of RAW mode that allows you to save you photos in compressed TIFF format (very good) so that a 9 Megabyte TIFF file is saved as about 2.5 Megabytes.
 
I'm pretty sure the RAW mode is completely uncompressed, I thought that was the whole point of it? And at 36bpp instead of the normal 24bpp it should be a larger file than TIFF?

What's wrong with Kodak? I have a Kodak DC4800 and it's a great camera.
