NBR: Recommend your digital camera

I am so upset with myself!  My camera is currently missing and we leave for vacation on Sunday.  Does anyone have a camera they love under $200 just in case we have to buy one at the last minute?  TIA!

Canon A3100 IS. DH replaced our p&s with that camera a few months ago. It is no frills, but produces a sharp image with great color saturation. The photos of my kids on the beach on my FB were all taken with that camera. I didnt bother with the dslr until yesterday. Its a great little camera.

My parents have this camera and I love it!  (We actually just got the newer version of it but it's $300 - but I had credit card points so it was free for me!)  Anyways - here is the one they have.  It takes HD video too which is great.

I have a Sony Cybershot and have nothing bad to say about it. I know very little about operating cameras and no matter what the lighting is like, it automatically adjusts it for me and I get a good shot. I like it so much that when it broke last year (ahem, when DH dropped it in a pond after being stung by a bee, but whatever), I went out and bought the same exact camera again. It cost me around $160, I believe.

ETA: This is the one I have:
