Hi surfer dude and Welcome to byte! You can check this website for your reference.

In my opinion for non-SLR camera the good pick is Canon S3-IS and for SLR either Canon EOS 350D or Nikon D50.

Just from what I have read, the Olympus E300 isn't the best but it's big brother the Olympus E-500 might be worth looking at...
