PS A650IS with good quality or others for newbie at $300

I am a newbie in photography and willing to be serious in it. In these days I plan to buy a prosumer camera prices around $300 or less. My option is Canon A650IS because of its vari-angle LCD. I choose Canon because they have better picture quality deals with noise.

I'm looking for the one which has optical view finder; manual setting; high optical zoom (min. 6x); better picture in low light; less noise at higher iso; good dynamic range, color reproduction, and also long exposure; and picture which is great in details.

Any recommendations from other brands which has similar features i expected are welcomed..Thanks

Dany, if you're planning to get "serious" about photography, why would you invest $300 in a point and shoot camera? You can get a Canon Digital Rebel XT for around $400 plus lens. It's a great entry level DSLR which will grow with you. And when you transition to a more advanced body, you will still be able to use your lenses.

For what you're looking to do, you'd be much better off, IMHO.
