at that price range... probably the canon 310/510/500 HS, or the fuji F-watever-EXR's. i'd like absolute control over settings, which is why i settled on a s95 last year (for my gf haha). also considered the lx5, xz1, p7100. if it's for yourself, i'd consider spending a bit more for the aforementioned models.

and skip the sony HX#V's, the noise-reduction at high ISO's drove me absolutely crazy. I mean yes, the picture came out, but it was like an oil painting lol. and manual mode gave you a whopping number of 2 apertures. for some reason it gets raving reviews online everywhere.

i don't think u have much of a choice if ur looking for a water-proof model. i guess there's also the D10. we got my gf's grandfather a TS2 for this travels. they love it and it held up very well, and the pictures looked great (subjective, of course) on his screensaver.
