I use a Canon point and shoot camera. It takes great pics on auto setting, but allows you to change many settings if you want to experiment.
I also have a Kodak, but it's a little larger and not as easy to put in my pocket. It pretty much stays at home.
I recommend going to a store to check out cameras that you think will work for you, find some reviews of that model online, and then search online for the best price. I bought a couple of cameras that way and saved quite a bit of money - maybe a hundred dollars each.
Good luck.

I've had a Canon A80 for many years and it's been a good dependable camera. Was looking to get a dslr but when I thought about lugging it around like my old slr I decided against it.
Went with Canon's latest greatest P&S. The S90. Tons of versatility, low light capability and fits in your pocket. Pricey but if I ever get around to learning and using all the higher functions I think it'll be well worth the price.
But if you just want a simple P&S camera I think nowadays any $100 camera should do an acceptable job.

have to say that's like asking "what's your favorite color?" or "which H-D model is the best?"...opinions on stuff like this are like bellybuttons; everyone has one.
withdraw $200 from your bank account, go to a camera store and drop it on the counter, tell them you want a point and shoot camera. it doesn't matter what they hand you in return; it will be better by orders of magnitude than what you have now. EVERYONE makes fantastically capable little cameras for very little $$ these days. $200 in 2010 will buy you more camera technology than $2000 would buy you in 2005.
I have a canon g11, a Fuji S5Pro DSLR, a couple of Casios, a Sony P&S, and they all take fantastic photos. Spend 10 minutes to find something you like the looks of and you're good to go.

I've always been a Nikon guy and the Nikon Coolpix series are good "point and shoot" digitals. I also have a Kodak Zi9 (? can't remember exact model designation) which is a HD DVR and a hi-res still camera built into one. I mount it on a mount on my bike as I ride on trips and record interesting areas with it as a video camera. When I get where I'm going I can take it off the bike mount and use it as a still camera too.
