Best digital camera around $100?

I had a decent Kodak Easyshare that was around that price, but it's a long story about what happened to it. The only features I really need are:
5x optical zoom [will settle for three]
At least 10 mega pixels. Preferably twelve but I'm not going to be picky, due to budget
Video recording capability.
Sound playback on the actual camera would be great, but I know most don't have that so it's not the end of the world.
Any color.
Hopefully released withint the last year or two.
Brands preferred:
Kodak
Canon
Nikon
[in that order]
As I said, not being picky. If you can think of any decent camera around the price, even if it doesn't correspond with my 'needs' I'd be happy to hear it. Best option gets the stars.

STAY AWAY FROM KODAK, NIKON, OYMPUS AND SONY. The image quality on those is HORRIBLE! Hat said you can't judge a camera by the brand! Go for the pentax optio h90. For only 105$ you get
-12mp
-2.7" lcd
-manual white balance and focus (and auto)
-HD VIDEO AT 30FPS
- a wide angle 5x zoom 28mm-140mm f3.5-f5.0 lens
-auto scene regonnition, blink dectection, face detection, image stabilization
-VERY VERY GOOD IQ
- auto panorama stiching
-a metal body!

Fujifilm Finepix S1800.It's a little big, but on amazon you can get it for a little more than $100.It's really worth it. Takes amazing pictures, the zoom is incredible. Totally worth your money.
