Recommend a Digital Camera

[SilverTorch]

My boss is asking for advice on a digital camera.

4-5 megapixels
up 500 dollars to spend (would like to spend less, but 500 is the ceiling).

Any suggestions?

What's it gonna be used for?

Family snapshots? Landscapes? Does he currently use a camera with manual settings?

Its for his wife .... I'm guessing all of the above.

Does size matter?

Personally I'm looking at the Canon SD300 (or SD200 but I like the metal case on the SD300 better) to get this Christmas as my backup camera. Very nice size, fairly decent photo quality, and great S-series construction. Another possibility if a slightly bigger size is ok is the S400/410, better photo quality than the SD300 (at Dell for $250ish).
