>>172398 <copypasta> The standard /p/ advice for which Point & Shoot camera to get is a PowerShot A-Series. My recommendation would be the PowerShot A630 ($170, last I checked), which has a relatively large (1/1.8") sensor, more resolution than you'll actually need, a nice flip-out screen, and a decent (35-140mm equiv) zoom. There's also the A650 IS, which gives you a longer telephoto (35-210mm equiv) and image stabilization, but costs $300 (i.e., not much less than a used SLR).
There's also the A570 IS for around $140 (which gives you image stabilization, but smaller sensor, which means likely a bit more noise in low light, and doesn't have the nice swivel screen of the A630). I wouldn't really recommend it, though. You lose a lot for that extra thirty bucks.
If you don't need manual controls, the rest of the PowerShot line opens up to you. But I don't care about digital cameras without manual controls, so I haven't bothered to research 'em.
Yes, I know this post sounds like absurdly high levels of canonfaggotry, but it gets asked a lot so I decided to do the research. </copypasta>
