Which digital camera offered best photo quality for under 300 dollar?

The Fujifilm FinepixE900 and the Cannon Powershot A630 were both cameras in the 'small' class that had excellent picuture quality according to consumer report's testers. The fuji had better next shot display and less shutter lag than the cannon, so I'd go with the fuji.

Fujifilm FinePix S6000fd

6.3 megapixels, 10.7x optical zoom, image stabilzation, secure grip.

For best quality,
you should seek for high pixel resolution, good lens ..
there are a lot of choice in digitl SLR, canon, sony, nikon..
personly i like digital compact despect limited capacity.

I love my Canon s3. It takes gorgeous, crisp pictures. It has Image Stabilization, 12x optical zoom, almost full manual control. I bought mine for $350 in-store at walmart, but you can find them cheaper online (I didn't want to wait for shipping time). This price comparison shows one site that sells it for $270 (plus free shipping? dang, maybe I should have waited..lol).
