Fujifilm has not been as popular as the bigger names in Cameras.
I would suggest that you take a look at the Kodak DX-7440.
4X optical zoom and 4 megapixels.
This camera has been a big hit with the owners.
It also has a full set of manual controls, if you want to delve further into photography.
It is one of the fastest cameras on the market.
The shutter lag is only 0.2 seconds.
Here is a look at the specifications:

I just recently had a fugifilm camera. It broke in less then a year but it did because of the little ones handling it. I was going to get another Fugi but all of the ratings arent too high. I want to spend between 200-300$. I want 4 megapixels atleast. Can anyone please help. Is one brand better then the others.
