Need advice on pirchase?

[dahark]

Hi I,m new here and dont really know alot about digital cameras (just the basics). I think I have it narrowed down to Panasonic FZ 10, Olympus 750,or Kodak 6490 . The 10x zoom is a must. I know these have alot of features that I dont even understand. But I,m of the mindset that when I purchase something I get the best rite off the bat.I dont want to buy a $100 to $200 camera and then decide its not enough for me so I just get the best now! All that being said any advice? Even though a $100 or $200 would probablly do me just fine?

Have you looked into the minolta Z1?

I have a little the 3.2 megapixels kinda turned me off a little though even though it is a bit cheaper than the others.
