Rick was asking about this the other day... http://nikonites.com/coolpix-sxxxx/4876-looking-point-shoot-compact-camera-what-should-i-get.html
The P310 looks real good to me as far as Nikon goes...I still think the 1 system has huge merits mainly the capability to still use F mount lenses but it is pricey...
P&S wise I have always used certain ancient Cybershot models like the DSC S 70/90 series and you can get them dirt cheap on flea bay and they are ok...
With all that being said you can buy an Olympus EP1 for peanuts now...a little money for an adapter and voila! you can use F mount lenses on it too...and the Olympus is probably the best bang for the buck "used" although the F mount adapters are kind of pricey I think...at least the good one...I may be wrong about that though...
I picked up a refurbed Olympus E-PL1 with the kit 14-42 lens a couple months ago from Cameta on sale for $199. Pretty decent for the price.
