I'm in the same situation right now. The dpreview.com website seems to be useful for the variety of cameras reviewed. Olympus has a model C-5500 that may be what I'm looking for and had some favorable comments on the dpreview site. There's a Panasonic that lists around $600 with a 10x zoom and image stabilization. Email me if you have found anything interesting.
There is a digital camera review magazine coming out of England called 'What Digital Camera' the same publisher for 'What Hi Fi'. Read their evaluations and reviews of all the different digital cameras.
Better yet click on to dpreview.com. They've got about all the major digital cameras listed and reviewed. Pay particular attentiion to what the owners have to say about the digital camera they have bought.
For about $500.00 you have a lot of choices from every major brand. If you want a very compact point-and-shoot, pay attention to Panasonic, Canon, Casio, Fuji Film, Pentax, Sony, and Olympus. There are so many of them out there and new models are coming out almost every other month, -it's confusing and mind boggling.
Pay particular attention to Canon, they seem most consistant in coming out with great digital cameras. Unfortunately, I never felt that they are as well made as Fuji Film or Sony.
Check out http://www.steves-digicams.com/ or http://www.dpreview.comFor $500 beans I'd look at a Nikon 4800 (I just bought 5 for our offices) or a Canon
What really sets the stage for what kind of camera you want is what you intend to do with it.
If you're a realtor and take photos of houses, small and small resolution for posting or emailing photos is your forte. If you sit on the turn of a NASCAR race and snap photos of stock cars going 180 mph then nothing short of an SLR will do.
Somewhere in between point and click and SLR lay some nice cameras like a Nikon 5700, 8700, or 8800. I think the 5700 is probably in your price range now.
