I have done a good bit of research....mainly on dpreview.com, but I was curious if you guys had heard any good/bad on this model or anything similar.
I bought my Canon PowerShot A85 about 2 years ago for 300 bucks. it can record video, only uses Compact Flash cards, has 3 different shutter speeds, other options, etc. 4 megapixel (its actually exactly 3.871488 megapixels) which is a max res of 2272x1704.

Its a good camera for recreational photography, though you'll probably want to spend an arm and a few legs for a professional quality camera if thats your thing. I'd really like the quality expensive cameras get...but damnit they cost so much.

edit: its probably important to note that this is my first and only camera -- ever. I know absolutely nothing about professional photography.
