What's the best camara for me?

Hi - impossible qustion I understand but this is what I want

Digital

good in low light (like kids in school play etc)

compact to fit at least in a fanny pack for trips.

good for travel type photos scenery, Rome, Paris, pastoral type shots

idiot proof - not so many bells and whistles that I get confused

I want to pay for the best I can get but roughly $300 or so (I know it varies)

*batteries that can go to AA since we travel a lot and need Europe back ups

photos great to 8X10 we live on a farm and take a lot of animal in action type shots
Is this enough? Thanks for any thoughts, Lizzy

Check out the Canon A700. It fits all your specs except maybe the idiot-proof one -- I have a Canon G6, and I wasn't too impressed with how everything was layed out, and so on. But I think you'll find it a good choice.
