New digital Camera

So I've finally decided i need a newer digital camera. I've found a few options and would like to know what the experts here think.
I'm open to alternatives in a similar price range, and i haven't looked a whole lot yet.
-Must have at least 10x (more is better) optical zoom
-would very much like to have manual focus and zoom control
-id like to have a very feature rich camera but those 2 are the key features right now

heres the ones I've found so far that i like

-Samsung Digimax Pro 815 8MP

- Fujifilm Finepix S6000 6.3MP

- Fujifilm Finepix S9100 9MP

- Panasonic DMC-FZ50 10.1MP

$500 is my max right now, but cheaper is always better. I guess I'm trying to find the balance point between price and features
 
I have considered that, and while part of me would love to get one i dont really think its justifiable for several reasons.
-First, after lenses and accessories are considered, DSLR is WAY out of my price range of ~$500
-I don't feel like im at the point where i need a dslr, i like taking pictures and would like to have a nice quality camera but cant really justify an slr, and im not really familiar with thier operation

all that aside, im not opposide to a higher end Canon or nikon P&S, and they are on the list of brands im goin to look into
 
Echo BladeVenom's thought. Before deciding, be sure and visit DP Review and get really good reviews and user evaluations on digicams.
