    Default Compact camera recommendations sub $300 with up to 20x zoom and HD video

    Hi Everyone I'm looking for a good compact camera in the sub $300 range. Looking for features with up to 20x zoom with 1/2.3 ccd, HD video and good battery life. Other features like Li ion battery and wifi would be nice as well. It's like a mine field out there but the main thing is to be compact. I've been reading specs and reviews but not getting far! Any recommendations?

    Cheers,
    Leroy

    Well seeing i got so much response I thought i would post back so to help others. I found the Sony wx350 had everything. I did find the wx300 which was obviously cheaper and very similar. I also found the Panasonic TZ55. There is the later TZ57 but it's also basically the same. Battery life is good on all. Sony approx 500 shots and 350 on the Pana. Both have 20x zoom. Video better on the Sony as it does AVCHD. I will head back into town to see what deal I can get but at the moment I'm leaning towards the Sony due to its size.
