Hey gang, How's it going?

I am hoping that you can help me pick out a camera. I am a total beginner so I'm looking for something small to point and shoot and still get good pics. There are a few models that I'm looking at. Do you know much about these? Is there something else I should take a peak at in this range? Looking to spend $300 - 400 unless a lot more can be had for very little extra. It needs to be very small or I just won't bother to carry it. It's gotta almost take the pictures for me or they won't come out clear. I like zoom but not digi-zoom. Here are the one's I've been peaking at:

Olympus Stylus 1000 10 megapix seems like overkill. Stabilization is a program that changes shutter speeds & helps correct it later. Only 3x zoom
Olympus Stylus 750 7.1 meg seems like plenty. A little fuzzy on the Stabilization on this one. 5x zoom...
Canon Powershot SD800 7.1 meg again. Stabilization,
Canon Powershot SD900 10 meg!, no stabilization?

Does anybody know how to help a complete nub? Are any of these good? Are any of them lemons? Remember to keep it simple for me.

Thanks,
Mike
