Help me buy a camera

hey everyone! I plan on going on vacation this summer but I need a camera that will capture some amazing shots of w/e I see.

Right now, I have a toshiba 4300 (4mp) and my gf has a sony cybershot dslP41 (4.1mp).
these were both great cameras but right now, i need something that will give me a much better picture and contrast overall.

I have been looking at canon for possible cameras.

My needed features are:
-preferably SD and SDHC cards so no sony or olympus.
-I would prefer AA batteries instead of the other options unless theres a major advantage to it.
-I don't really need SLR but it needs to take good quality shots in almost all settings.
-compact is not that important but it would be nice to not have to carry a huge camera bag whereever I go.
-ZOOM is really important to me. 3-4x is not enough. I'm looking for more around the line of 5-10X.
-and of course, price. under 200$ but i'm willing to go up to ~300$ if the camera is incredible.

So, TFP, can you help me?!

edit: I have been looking at this camera for a while. I'm not sure if it's too basic or not yet.
