Hello Steve. I'm glad to see that, although I've been on my own for a long time I still seem to share the average PDML wisdom...
I got a Fuji E510 a couple years ago: 5 mp, XD cards, only jpeg output, optical viewfinder (really useful at times). My key factor for the choice was the fact that the camera was one of the few midlevel P&S with a lens going as wide as a 28mm film equivalent. My major complaint is the chromatic aberration, but that's a very common problem with simple and small lenses. Annoying, especially in bright light, sharp contrasted shots. Using Dpreview "feature search" is really easy and useful: http://www.dpreview.com/reviews/compare.asp.

I'm going to be spending some time in India, and I'd like to get a small camera as a backup to my DS. Any suggestions? I'd like it to be under $300. I know I'm being a bit vague on features, but I'm actually more concerned about good experiences people have had. At least 5 or 6 MP, reasonable zoom, antishake if possible.
