Being a photographer id recommend the canon ixus,anything above 8 megapixel and the new ones have anti shake,or IS with a face recognition and auto red eye reduction...
They are small and compact but take an amazing photo for a little handheld.a lot easier than lugging a DSLR with you,not only that you do need a little knowledge with a DSLR as you need to think iso,aperture shutters etc for a perfect shot..Most of the little ones take just as good on auto or semi auto modes
Another good one is the Finepix ones,they come above 8 megapixels too,a range of funky colors,anti shake etc etc,if you set the settings of these cameras onto say a fine mode or a larger file you can print poster size with no loss of image quality or very minimal..ie not pixelated or blocky or unclear
they retail between 200-600 dollars depending on what you want to spend
Me personally-Canon ixus,all my gear is Canon
Bon
we just brought a Ricoh Caplio R7, which is great. Takes excellent photos, has all the mod cons, and easy as to use. Only $350
Also takes an SD card, which is one of the cheapest card types..
Just to update...got the Sony Cybershot DSCH 50 and love it! The photos are amazing and the zoom is great...and it still fits in my handbag. Thanks for all the advice
