I want to buy a digital camera.
Can you guys suggest me what brand should i prefer?
and also which specs should i look for?

before i had a kodak semi pro series Z510 , it has 5 MP, 10X optical zoom,
the only problem is that its bulky.

your suggestions are much appreciated.

purpose nothing specific, to use on family gatherings or when i travel.
budget --less than 300$$$
optical zoom is not constraint but preferably more than 4X
not much to be used as movie recorder so only a fair quality will work for that.

size wise it should not be bulky

Thanks
