Looking for a GOOD digital camera in the $250 prince range...?

I'm trying to find something with at least 7 Mega pixels and a high optical zoom... This'll be my camera for pretty much the rest of college so I really want to get something durable and on the higher end. I'm not looking for credit-card thing, but I do need something small enough to carry to football games/parties/etc. I'm going for point and shoot rather than SLR...

Any advice/suggestions from the camera gurus of yahoo answers would be much appreciated!! =)

Thank you!!!

When you say, "college," and, "small," it makes me think you want something to stick in your shirt pocket and not a camera that is too pick to stow away like this. I know you said you are not looking for a credit-card camera, but I'm going to recommend a very small one anyway, because I think it's the best value and quality in your price range.

Look at the Canon SD1000 (IXUS 70): http://www.steves-digicams.com/2007_reviews/sd1000.html
- Also: http://www.dpreview.com/reviews/specs/Canon/canon_sd1000.asp Go there and click on "Read Owner Opinions."

If you can go another fifty bucks and really want more zoom, look for a Canon SD700-IS (IXUS 800 IS): http://www.steves-digicams.com/2006_reviews/sd700.html
- See also: http://www.dpreview.com/reviews/canonsd700is/ This camera also has image stabilization that you have heard so much about.

Another camera worthy of consideration is the Fujifilm Finepix F31D: http://www.dpreview.com/reviews/fujifilmf31fd/ It doesn't have tons of zoom, but it's a good camera.

I like Jonathan's suggestion about the Canon A710, but I'm thinking that it might prove too big for your purposes. If it's not, it's probably a better suggestion than any of mine.
