I suggest you look at the Canon SX130.
It sells for about $200.

The SX230 has a few more bells and whistles and sells for about $330.

Both take very good pictures

it's last year's model but still up-to-spec and a great camera for $250. not much diffferent than this year's model except it's limited to 720p. full manual mode, good "auto" modes.
