I second the recommendation of Canon Powershots.  They're powered by AA
batteries, which you can get anywhere.  My wife and I had a bad
experience with a Sony camera with a proprietary battery pack so we've
used AA powered cameras ever since.  Our latest camera was an A650is.
It was about $400 last year but a recent check shows it for $306.94.
