For around $250, what's the best camera I can get? A friend reccomended the Lumix TZ4.

It has to be fairly compact (no semi DSLR here hehe), but I'm not a freak about uber tiny things. Just looking for image quality and, if possible, good zoom.

Thanks..

Samsung NV20.

Not sure about US Pricing, but this camera has and will be one of my favourite compact cameras of all time.

Looks good, but a tad over the budget. Any others?

Update: went with the TZ5, got a great deal.
