For $180 [samys.com], I would highly recommend the following digital camera which has received over 400 5-star reviews by purchasers at amazon.com. It has the following features:
1. A 3X optical zoom;
2. A 2.5 inch 238,000 pixel LCD [higher than the Sony DSC-W55!]
3. Comes with a rechargeable lithium battery and a separate charging unit that produces around 180 shots per 90 minute charge;
4. A "vivid" color setting found as a default on Nikon D40s and D80s;
5. A view finder that works in bright outdoor light;
6. Excellent quality sound videos that records piano playing;
7. Uses standard inexpensive SD memory cards;
8. Has an ASA rating of up to 1000 so it's focusable in very dim light, like at clubs and concerts;
9. It's an ultra-compact that fits into your shirt pocket;
It's the Canon Powershot SD1000 ELPH.
Good luck!

I personally would go for a Casio EX-Z77 which is about $179.99.
It has a large screen, Clear pictures, and has many really cool features like Face Detection which focuses in on the face as opposed to a larger object in the background. Another really awesome feature this Digital Camera has is the Youtube Capture Mode which allows you to recod videos without having to worry about the file size and not being able to upload it on to Youtube.

Kodak Easyshare v803. Bought it for special trips to vegas and hawaii and it did great on the beach and in the bars and with all the sights. I've had it for almost one year now and absolutely no complaints or problems. I think it runs for about $150, but by the time you buy an sd card, you'll spend around 200. :)

A Canon SD700 Powershot will work but it is a little over $200 but the picture qualities are great

I agree with Judy. I have a Sanyo VPC-T700 and it makes beautiful pictures and very easy to use.
