So I'm getting a digital camera. A small pocket type one, nothing serious. Gonna use it for bro chilling photos and the the like mainly and for youtube videos of my bass playing (at least 30fps).

Right now I'm looking at Canon Digital IXUS 100 IS, but I have no opinion of it as I'm totally clueless.

So any bang4buck suggestions up to 300$?

Coolpix, about 100$ and they're pretty durable, I've accidentally thrown mine in a lake and it still works fine and they can take video.

Get a used DSLR, like Canon Rebel XT.
I am getting my XTi for 290 dollars.

Looking at your description and price range, I guess you're looking for a compact point and shoot. Canon makes excellent point and shoot digital cameras. The Digital IXUS series line is what you should be looking at.They take good pictures with less noise and compression artifacts compared to other point and shoots. They are quick too.

These days, you don't need to look at the megapixel number. 8 megapixels is enough to take great pictures. Instead, you should look at how much optical zoom the camera offers and whether it offers image stabilization.

Don't listen to the other people telling you to buy a 10 dollar camera. 0.3 megapixel cameras takes shitty pictures. Canon digital cameras offers better picture quality than Coolpix digital cameras but costs 2 times more. DSLR takes better pictures than point and shoots but it's more complicated to use and it's rather big.

Indeed, indeed, "compact point and shoot". You listed pretty much what I'd need in a decent camera I guess.
What I need for sure is to be able do at least 640x480 30fps videos, though most seem capable.

Which one of the Digital IXUS is the best within ~300$ ?

I believe all Canon Digital IXUS Cameras can do 640*480 at 30fps. I don't know if it's still the case, but my Canon uses MJPEG compression which leads to enormous file sizes. Other digital cameras can do MPEG4. But you can always compress MJPEG to MPEG4 to save space.

edit: It seems like Digital IXUS 95 IS can only do MJPEG. Digital IXUS 100, 110, 120 IS could do H264 compression and capture at a 1280*720 resolution.

Digital IXUS 120 looks good. It has 4x zoom, and it's priced at $300 USD. It's also smaller than 100 or 110.
