I got my HP Photosmart R927 with 350 euros.

-8.2 megapixels
-3 inch LCD
-Red Eye Removal & other stuff
-complex setup(it has a lot of options to make the best photo )
-Mini SD card(not included in package) + Rechargabeable Battery(included in package)

I must say, for this sleek package, I got a lot of options.
And the size: 65-70% of the size of a CD!!!

Perfect.

HP is not good manufacturer. My friend last year buy top model R717 for 270 euros (with VAT) and I am not impressed. Slow processing of pictures, especially in low light (night is terrible), slow charging of flash, colours are not the best, chromatic abernations, etc. Not good at all. But we couldn't find nothing better last summer, unfortunutely.

Some random stuff:

-You'll probably always have to make a trade off between a big, heavy camera with great quality and a small one with so-so quality. Don't expect miracles from the small ones, though they're certainly good enough for most people (depending on what you photograph of course)

-Digital zoom is pretty much worthless, it's the same as taking a picture at high resolution and then cutting out a part

-4 megapixels is enough for regular sized pictures, it still looks good when blown up on our big screen (HD) tv

-I prefer looking through the lens instead of looking at an LCD screen to take pictures, so a camera where I can look through the lens is a big plus for me. Also, not all LCD screens are usable in bright light (are any ?)

-CompactFlash cards are sloooooow
