Don't mind him, he's that way with everyone.
Here's the only site I use. It has user reviews, technical info, summaries, etc. Pretty much everything you need to know about choosing a digital camera. It's also easy to use.

Here's another good comparison web site. It's cnet.com who reviews all sorts of electronics. Here is their digital camera section and it groups cameras by price:

I'm seeing good things about the Nikon Coolpics on both sites I linked to. Here is a video review on the cnet site. It's 12.1 Megapixel too!

I would say you are aiming too high in the price scale
At 100-200 dollar would fit the bill perfectly, don't be too impressed by the 'x' mexapixels.......few if any people would take ONE picture that would be blown up so much that a difference between 10 - 12 MP would be a factor
I have had a canon powershot for a while, sometimes I like the pictures it takes better than the ones that my wife's professional digital camera takes
Something like this http://www.amazon.com/Canon-SD1200I...1?ie=UTF8&s=electronics&qid=1260796507&sr=8-1 is all you need
