I've always gone for Canon myself, both for cheaper point&shoot and dSLRs. 
I currently have the PowerShot G7 both at work and at home and am extremely 
pleased with it.  It has 6x optical zoom plus an image stabiliser so that 
you can use the 6x zoom even with dim lighting and still get sharp photos. 
It does nice 640x480x30fps videos too.  It's about 400 euro here.
