actually,
I have been eyeing the Panasonic DMC-TZ3. 10x optical zoom in a pretty compact package.
I am pretty undecided as to what I am going to get. The 10x optical looks freakin' sweet. However, I am going to wait and see what Canon's August/September models bring before I make a decision.
EDIT: Sorry spiff, I thought you were wanting a compact. Since you are not, I would recommend the new Canon S5 IS (no RAW on the S5 tho...sheesh!, and its a little out of your price range, $500)
