P300 should fit but not 5x zoom.

If not P300, TZ25

Canon SX160IS

The only disadvantage is that it runs on AA batteries. But with Sanyo Eneloops its not a disadvantage anymore infact i see camera s that run on AA batteries as an advantage

There is not much of a difference between sx150 and sx160.

The differences are what canon says is better autofocus, improved shutter lag.

Others are that sx160 has gone upto 16 megapixels from 14 in sx150 and the zoom is more 16x in sx160 and 12x in 150.

And ofcourse not to miss the battery life has improved too.

I dont know after using the sx150 i would have upgraded to sx160 or not. Not much choices in ur budget. If u can increase ur budget, u can get canon sx240 which has 20x zoon and has a CMOS sensor which is better than sx150 and sx160 CCD sensor.
