Digital Camera?

[cannman11]

I am going to college starting in September and I am buying a digital camera before I go. I am looking to spend somewhere around $300, and my goal is a good quality camera that is not too big (so I can carry it around with me relatively easily).

Does anyone have any good recommendations for a camera? I don't really know too much about the different types of digital cameras, but I do understand the basics so some recommendations would be grealy appreciated.

Point and shoot? Canon IXUS series.

Try doing a search, this has been discussed many times in great detail (and recently, too).

In addition, you might want to check out this website - it's been massively useful to me in purchasing my "party" cameras and my professional DSLR's.
