Which new digital camera should I purchase?

[cam2cam]

I am looking for a gift for my girlfriend and am stumped on which to buy. I know she prefers to have a viewfinder (and keep in mind this is just a normal digital camera she is looking for) but want to get the best bang for the buck. I would really like to find a bundle deal in the 2-300 dollar range that will include a memory card, case and strap. I want to find the best megapixels, zoom, and and quick snapshot camera possible for this range, any friendly suggestions? I just wanted to add that my Dad found me a deal on a Panasonic DMC-TZ4 packaged deal with case and 2 gb card for $179 no tax. Everything is perfect except that it has no view finder on it. Anyone come up with something better?
