You should be able to find something for $150 that fills your needs without being a hunk of crap.
dpreview.com will have an excellent review of anything you are considering.

The f20(d) is as close to a "classic" digital camera as you'll ever see. After that Fuji kind of got back into the megapixel race and lost a bit of their low-light edge. The f30 got twice the megapixels as the f20, but the pixels were much lower quality. Some of their models are using Sony sensors now.
My advice to the OP: find a sale on redflagdeals (or maybe even kijiji?) and then use dpreview to see if the model is any good. Cheap cameras tend to get better sales than expensive ones.
