Compact Digital Camera With Good Picture Quality?

[priley4]

I'm looking for a compact digital camera (preferably around $300 or less) that produces a great quality image.

I primarily would be using it to take pictures of concerts, so i suppose i would need a decent zoom, but i would also like to be able to take pictures of landscapes, and picture quality is important to me.

Got any good suggestions?
