Which is the best digital point and shoot camera to buy currently?

Hi, I really need help to buy a digital camera asap.All the online reviews have only further confused me.My requirements are:
1. 7-8 megapixel
2. 3-4 optical zoom
3. LCD screen
4. Good night pictures
5. different shoot modes
6. video (optional)
7. sharp, bright pictures
8. anti shake
9. face detection
10. as compact a body as possible.
I used to have a fancy for sony cybershot models but am told they are not as good as canon or nikon. fuji has also been recommended. A salesman recommended either the fuji F40 or the nikon S500 or the canon IXUS950. Can anyone help please? I have a budget of up to $500 but don’t necessarily have to go all the way so long as I can get a good reliable compact camera that has all the latest features and gives me the best pictures.

For under $200 what is the best digital camera to buy and why?

I’m looking to buy a digital camera for under $200. What is the best digital camera you would suggest and why? Do you own or know someone that owns that particular camera? I will use the camera for just normal picture taking, especially for the holidays.

Thanks to all who answer.

What is the best digital camera to buy?

I am looking to buy a digital camera to give as a gift, ideally I would like to spend $100 or less but I was also looking at the Canon PowerShot A1100IS 12.1 MP Digital Camera which goes for $130. I would love something in the 10-12 MP range and a 3-5X Zoom, which one should I buy?
