P+S recommendations?
Looking for something in the sub-300 dollar range. Prefer something compact, easy to use (will most often be in the auto function IF manual settings is even an option), long battery life. Don't need anything fancy, just something that capture decent pictures in low light settings. Any suggestions?

if youre willing to stretch the budget to 450:
Panasonic LX3K http://www.amazon.com/gp/redirect.ht...Panasonic LX3K  it has a F2.0 lens and does wide angle shots and vid...it has the fastest lens of the compact camera bunch, but does not zoom as far (its drawback). this would be best for low light conditions. it is a 10.1 mp cam (good iso performance..ie...light sensitivity, or in other words...less grain in low light) at a price of ~329: Panasonic LX150K http://www.amazon.com/gp/redirect.ht...&creative=9325 its a bit slower F2.8, but has a better range and also does video, and its 14.7 mp at a price of ~309: panasonic fx580k http://www.amazon.com/gp/redirect.ht...&creative=9325 also has a 2.8 lens, but is 12.1 mp in comparison to the above model

Honestly I love my Sony Cybershot... Has good glass and is pretty expandable... Has a wide angle lens and other accessories...
I started with a P&S and I still use it everyday!

I have the DSC-T10 (like 3 yrs old). VERY easy to use and great quality. Just DON'T SIT ON IT, $149.99 for a new screen. Too many  that night.

Canon's SD series is very good for a cheap P&S. They are also very small and fit in the pocket easily.

The Canon Powershot 780IS is about $200, it's the smallest PS that I know about about. The shots are great and video is HD (720p at 3fps).
