DCRP took a look at this six megapixel digital camera from Canon. It costs $499 and features a 2-inch LCD display and a whopping 12x optical zoom:

"Canon includes a 16MB memory card with the PowerShot S3, which holds a grand total of four photos at the highest quality setting. That means that you'll want to buy a memory card right away, which brings up the initial price of the camera bit. The S3 uses Secure Digital and MultiMedia memory cards, though I'd stick with the former. I'd recommend 512MB as a good starter size -- and be sure to get a high speed card (60X or higher), as the S3 takes advantage of them.."
