tl;dr
my camara is borked and i need a new one for about 200$

nobody here will recommend you one because it's not a DSLR.

I dunno much about cameras in this price range, but a powershot in the a5-- series would probably be a good bet, I've enjoyed my a530. The fact that it has manual controls has been great, it continues to impress me.
