I want a digital camera with a good zoom, that takes clear pictures for under 拢200. What one should I get?

I made a horrible mistake with my last camera (Olympus). I know what I want (min 6x optical zoom preferably more) but I don't want to spend too much (under or around 拢200). I have looked and I know that there are plenty that fit that description but I want a good camera. So any recommendations please?

ETA: Uh. Thanks guys but I don't want a guide, I've read guides, used selectors. I specifically want RECOMMENDATIONS. I.e. if you know a particular camera is good for what I want from your personal experience. Probably should have made that clearer.

my suggestion
go to yahoo shopping
digital cameras
digital camera GUIDE
be sure to check titles on the left side
the guide should answer your questions

Check out the Nikon SLR 3200, sweet and only around 175

Go to dcresource.com or steves-digicams.com. I've been to these two several times and they have really good reviews. They also have sample pictures so you can see what the quality is like. I highly recommend going to one of those, if not both.
