So I'm looking into buying a new digital camera for myself. I don't need a DSLR, as I'm not a hardcore photographer. I want to take some portraits of friends, record some videos of things (such as concerts, trips, etc), etc.
I have a budget of $300 that I can spend. That is Canadian dollars. All the DSLR's I've seen in Canada are over $500, AFAIK.
I was looking at the SD780 IS or the SD1200 IS from Canon, but if anybody else has any other recommendations, then feel free to add in!
EDIT: What do you guys think about this one?

I'm willing to spend a bit more for this after from what I've seen. The pictures look great, almost like DSLR quality. It starts to get noisy at ISO 800, but it looks great.
EDIT #2: Future Shop is having a sale on the Nikon D3000 for $449.99 on Boxing Day. Should I grab that instead, or the H20?
