Yes, I meant the P&S in the < $300 range, not prosumer gear

I'm leaning towards the Canon 1000D. It seems to be the one with
the best performance and fewest flaws or missing features for the
average user. There's a bit of a price war and a twin-lens bundle is
affordable

Maybe the Sony A300, although reviewers aren't kind about the
image quality with the kit lens
