I was looking at the canon SX280. For a regular point and shoot, it is pretty good. You can find it on ebay new for $227. I decided to go with a panasonic FZ200 myself, since I wanted to have more control over the pictures and be able to shoot RAW format and high speed video, but the SX280 can shoot 1080p video at 60 fps and it is small enough to fit in your pocket unlike the one went with. And it's half the price. Out of all of the point and shoots, the SX280 is very nice and a step above all the other ones for 100-150. Remember, you get what you pay for.

This camera also has GPS in it to tag your photos with latitude and longitude in the metadata of the picture so you can sort them in the future by location, and also has built in wifi to transfer the pictures wirelessly to your computer without having to hook up the usb cable to the computer. Remember, you get what you pay for.
