I don't really have any advice on a specific camera, but here were my "must haves" for a digital point and shoot:

4MP or higher
Must have a decent optical zoom (digital zoom sucks)
Must use AA batteries. You can always find AA's if your battery dies, but you can't always find a proprietary battery (not for cheap anyway).

Beware of buying the camera in NY. Speaking from experience, if the price in the window is too good to be true, leave. You will spend the next hour in the store arguing with the guy at the counter. He will tell you that the price in the window is only that low if you spend another $200+ on overpriced accessories in their store.
