Karen,
Sorry, I don't have any pointed recommendations. It's a tough call because there are so many factors involved:
-Form Factor (size, shape, etc).
-What is your current workflow and how a new camera may change it.
-Optical zoom or megapixels? That's usually the trade when staying at same price.
-Do you have any current equipment that has accessories that will work with the new one (batteries, lens adapters, etc)
-Etc, Etc.
My recommendation is to go to a large electronics store that will have them on display so you can handle them all. Use that trip to narrow to three and then google those for reviews. In the end I would not worry too much as this is an ultra-competitive business segment and any company releasing junk will not last long.
