Sounds like you want something like what I was looking for. The Canon S3 IS, Sony Cybershot H5, and Panasonic FZ7 were the three I was down to. I ended up going with the Panasonic mostly on price as it was under $300, and the other two were closer to $400.

I just got the camera late November so I haven't had the opportunity to take many outdoor shots, but the Panny has one of the best lenses and takes some of the best outdoor pictures.

Here are some samples. I'm new to photography so excuse my lack of proper lighting skills. The second to last one is a close up of a bottle of XMT polish. The one knock people have on this camera is the noise. To me it's not an issue at all. The last picture is at ISO 400 and to me the noise is minimal, and a noise program easily removes it.
