I have a Nikon 775, Nikon 885 and Cannon PS G2. The 775 is tiny, easy to use and takes great day shots. It's not great for night and low light conditions. The 885 is also very compact, takes great pics and has some really good features but is slow to recycle when using flash. The Cannon is an awesome camera and can do anything you ask of it but is on the pricey side. Look at
Steve's Digicams for great and objective reviews.
Cheers
