For that sort of money you're not going to get much more than really basic models of camera's or older lines that are discontinued. No really good ones for you!

Optics are very important, a 5mp camera with decent optics will take a better picture than a poor one with 8mp.

The safest option is to go for a high mp camera with no optical zoom at all that way pictures will allways be in focus and you can make use of the high res for enlarging images.

I have the latest ixus from canon (900 series) and its an absolutly fantastic camera but is 2.5x your budget!
