Looking for some advice, my photographing friends...

This is especially aimed at those of you who are active photographers and camera afficianados, but if anybody has any relevant experiences or recommendations, I'd love to hear them:

Given that our upcoming trip to England should include something of a travelogue, I'm looking for a new camera for myself. Anne has a nice one, but it's about time I got myself another one--my last I bought in 2004 for the Hong Kong trip.

What I'm looking for: digital, all-in-one package (i.e. I'm not lugging a separate flash unit around the UK), sufficiently rugged, both significant on-board storage and room for cards, and with good physical optics. My price point is ~$300, I figure.

Oh, and if you care to recommend any highly useful accessories, like a carrying case or such, that's appreciated, too.

Thanks!
