Hi Lina. I can only offer personal experience.We depart in 38 sleeps, and have been looking for the same. I chose a Sony Cybershot 3.2mp which is on special offer at Brisbane Duty Free for $299au.. I have been told its a superceded model and is being sold of cheaply. This would convert to around $225us if the same sorts of deals are happening in your neck of the woods. It comes with battery charger, and 2 Nimh batteries. We were told at pro camera shops that unless you are a professional photographer not to bother with 4 , 5 and 6 mega pixel camera as they are not worth the difference.
Only trouble is I can't get my camera until I go to the airport in 5 weeks time :( never mind, soon be here !!
